An excellent piece, with beautiful mint luster on both sides (recommended to see live).
Great freshness of the sheet with minor mint imperfections, characteristic of these sixpences.
Very rare in this state of preservation.

A large class, impressive sixpence of Stefan Batory from the Lithuanian mint.
A rare and typologically difficult coin to acquire.

Variety with the mint mark - a leaf - placed between the shields.
