Lot description Show orginal version
Grade: UNC
Reference: Kopicki 70 (R5), Stronczyński T.100

Mint condition, great freshness, beautiful luster and lovely patina.
In fact, pieces with a much better presence.

In our opinion, the most beautiful representative of this variety that has appeared so far on the domestic market.

"two half-figures facing each other, holding a pennant together, below them a strip with the inscription MEZICO".


Issue dated 1184-94.
Witold Garbaczewski:
"It is believed that Mieszko III (on the left, as the more important person, holds the pennant spar higher than his companion, and his name is shown in the inscription) and Casimir the Just are most likely pictured here.
Dobrochna Gorlinska:
"The minting of coins with such depictions must be linked to Mieszko's efforts to gain influence in Cracow, i.e., his moves to reach an agreement with Casimir while opposing submission to his authority."

A great rarity in such an excellent state of preservation.
For the best collections!
