Grade: XF-
Reference: Hutten Czapski (-), Kopicki 7968 (R8), Tyszkiewicz nie opisywał

The first triple denarius (ternar) of the city of Poznan - an extremely rare coin.

The first type, completely different from the much-simplified iconographically later thirds.

With an uncrowned monogram over the keys of the city of Poznan and an inscription in the rim (TERNARIVS REG P 1603 - ternar królestwa Polski) indicating a state issue, not a city issue (which is also confirmed by the placement of the coat of arms of the Great Treasurer of the Crown - Jan Firlej). With the crowned shields of the coat of arms (of Poland, Lithuania and a smaller one with Lewart) next to the letter P.

This is a coin known to Kopicki only from 1 piece (Sobanski collection). In the archives of Polish companies with only 1 listing over several decades (2014 WCN 56). Absent from Czapski's collection, not described by Tyszkiewicz (where he gave the ternar with keys as 60 marks with a question mark!).

Ternar minted at the mint opened by Geelen, in accordance with the royal privilege of 1602.

As Jaroslaw Jąder describes it, "...the poor number of pieces of these coins from the early years of the mint's operation, which have survived to this day, testifies to Engelbert's low interest in this denomination...".

The photos don't do it justice, but the coin especially in the area of the obverse inscription, as well as in a large part of other parts of the background, has a clear mint mirror preserved, which is covered by a dark patina. Matte and patina-free relief. Overall live presentation excellent. Metal sound, with tone.

Very attractive given the juxtaposition of rarity and beauty.

First time in our offer.

Silver, diameter 13.7 mm, weight 0.44 g.
