Sigismund III Vasa, Grosz 1617, Riga - beautiful and rare
Inscription Variety ... CIVI ... in the rim on the reverse.
Condition: NGC MS63
Minimal eccentricity of the obverse, without affecting the readability of the coin. A superbly struck and preserved piece for this type. Plastic relief. Excellent detail. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. Very high NGC grade. This is the piece that received the highest NGC MS63 grade and is the only piece with an MS63 grade. A fine but beautiful coin and very rare in this state of preservation. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
