One of only four issues of Elbląg denarii from the reign of Sigismund Augustus.
In 1557, the Elbląg mint, managed by Michał Fischer, fulfilled its contract and, after exhausting its silver reserves, was closed again for over 70 years.
Rare, and here in a nice, natural state of preservation. The obverse shows slight double striking.
The coin comes from the outstanding contemporary collection of Zbiór.com and is featured on its website.
