John II Casimir, 18 groschen 1656, Lviv

A select, mint piece with luster and noble patina.
Exquisitely preserved portrait of the king in caracene armor.
Unprecedented, for this type of orta, quality of detail.

Incorrect titulature of the king - SVXC instead of SVEC on the reverse.

The Lvov orts were minted from faulty sheet metal, in a hurry and were characterized by poor workmanship.
At the time, the mint did not employ mincemasters, but only city craftsmen.
All this resulted in the fact that to this day the vast majority of pieces are in very poor states of preservation.
The offered coin is one of the most beautiful that have appeared on the collector's market so far.

A great rarity!
Definitely for the best collections!
