Sigismund I the Old, Groschen 1548 Danzig

Beautiful Pieces. Background freshness.

The rarest, last, vintage of the Gdansk pennies of Sigismund the Old.

A variety with a type 3 coat of arms - the only one known with this type of coat of arms. Of only 14 listings of this vintage since 1998 on Onebid, only 1 is an ex of this variety.

A worthy item for even the most advanced collections, sporadically listed on the market.

Obverse: crowned coat of arms of Gdansk in the pearl rim, in the outer rim a legend beginning with a rosette, with punctuation in the form of triplets:
GROSS CIVI GEDANENS 1548;

Reverse: in the pearl rim a royal bust in armor and cloak, crown and cap, to the right, in the outer rim a legend with punctuation in the form of triplets:
*SIGIS AND REX POLO TO PRV;
