A specimen mint piece.
The second highest NGC MS64 grading note ever assigned.
Only two pieces of this vintage graded higher.
Rare in this state of preservation.
One of many variants :
- on the obverse the first line without punctuation;
- on the reverse, dots as punctuation, also at the beginning and end of the legend.
Definitely recommended.
Obverse: crowned, five-petal crown with five rosette fleurons legend: SIG III D G/REX-POL/-MD-L-; on the sides of the crown two five-petal rosettes;
Reverse : in the cord border, an eagle with the Snopes coat of arms in a shield on the breastplate; in the outer border, a legend beginning with a five-petal rosette, punctuated by the Lewart coat of arms in a shield of arms:
*-GROS-REG-POL-1608-;
