Sigismund II Augustus, Halfgroat 1551, Vilnius - LI/LITVA

A nice, well struck piece.

Mint luster in the background. Sheet flaws.

Variety with LI/LITVA legend ends.

Obverse: in the corded rim a narrow-bodied eagle, with its head heraldically to the right, with a spread tail, with four-pronged paws; in the outer rim a legend divided by three leaves:
SIGIS AVG REX PO MAG DVX LI;

Reverse: in the laced rim, the Pogon to the left, below it the date 1551, in the outer rim a legend divided by three leaves:
COIN MAGNI DVCAT9 LITVA;
