Stefan Batory, Troyak 1583, Vilnius - undescribed
An early type of bust appearing in the 1582 vintage.
Variety with the Leliwa coat of arms (of Jan Hlebowicz - Grand Treasurer of Lithuania) under the bust.
Inscribed variety with the king's titulature ending in... L on the obverse and ... TRI ... instead of ... TRIP ... on the reverse - not described in specialized catalogs of Iger and Ivanauskas - very rare.
Condition: 2
A very nicely minted and preserved piece. Glosses and a lot of mirror. Undescribed in specialized catalogs inscription variety - very rare. An attractive and rare coin.
