A typologically sought-after, rare denomination of Sigismund III, additionally with an interesting provenance.

Half-talars from the Vasa era are distinctly rarer coins than their full counterparts - thalers. They were minted in Bydgoszcz in two stages. The first, in the years 1620-1622, were so-called "light" semi-talars, as they represented the value of not 1/2 thaler, but 1/2 Polish zloty. Only 1628 brought a change. The mint managed by Jacobson began issuing coins equivalent to 1/2 of the Polish thaler. However, as Marian Gumowski points out, "the entrepreneur did not make much money on minting 1/2 thalers...", attributing this fact to their rarity today.

The first vintage of minting "heavy" half-talars.

A coin with a round ownership punch at 12 o'clock, a punch that is found on gold coins from the time of Royal Poland, or rare silver. Belonging to a still undefined, but unique collection, considering how rare coins have this punch.

A variety with labrys made of lilies and a cross between the SV and the Golden Fleece jewel.

Recommended.

Silver, diameter 33.8 mm, weight 14.01 g.
