An extremely rare crown denarius - FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE NATIONAL AUCTION MARKET.
On the obverse the Gothic letter R and a legend in the rim, on the reverse the crown without a legend in the rim.
We have not found this type of denarius in the archives, also in Kopicki's catalog there is no such coin.
Similar pieces known on the market in single pieces on the side with a crown also have a legend.
A coin with the character of a unique one, the second piece of which may not appear again.
This denarius, as well as the other two known pieces with the letter R, do not have a fully established attribution.
It is attributed to Casimir III the Great, although Władysław the Short cannot be ruled out either.
According to two theories, it may be an Inowrocław coin of Casimir the Great (Inowrocław bore the name Wladislavia and the initial of Casimir the Great) , or a Kraków piece of Wladyslaw the Short (refers to pieces with Wladyslaw's name around the crown and the letter K for Kraków).
However, it seems that the latter attribution is less likely due to the stylistic dissimilarity of the drawings.
Very nice, well readable piece, age patina.
For a most excellent collection.
Obverse: gothic letter R, in the rim a legend.
Reverse: crown.
Diameter 10 x 11 mm, weight 0.21 g
