Sigismund III Vasa, Trojak 1589, Riga - lily on the left - beautiful
Royal portrait with head facing right.
On the reverse the numeral III between triplets (degraded crosses).
On the reverse, the letters GE between the mintmark "lily" (by Henryk Wulf - mintmaster of the Riga mint) and a dot.
Inscribed variety with the titular of the king SIG III ... LI in the rim on the obverse.
Condition: NGC MS64
Minor stamp flaw and minimal off-centerness, but a beautifully struck and well-preserved piece. Deep relief. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and quite difficult to find on the collector market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
