Sigismund III, 3 groschen 1600, Riga

An excellent piece in mint fresh condition, luster falling into mirrors, very sharp relief.

The second highest NGC grading note for this vintage to date - only one piece graded higher.

A rarer vintage, minted before the 19-year hiatus in the issuance of this denomination.

Definitely recommended.
