An extremely rare crown denarius.
On the obverse a Gothic letter R and a legend in the rim, on the reverse a crown without a legend in the rim. A piece known from this one piece, there is no such coin in Kopicki's catalog. Similar pieces known on the market in single pieces on the side with the crown also have a legend.
A coin with the character of a unique piece, a 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. A nicely preserved piece, slightly off-center.
Obverse: gothic letter R, in the rim a legend.
Reverse: crown.
Silver, diameter 10 x 11 mm, weight 0.21 g.
A coin worthy of recommendation for the best collections.
