Sigismund III Vasa, Trojak 1589, Riga - beautiful
Portrait of the king with head facing right.
On the reverse the numeral III between triplets (degraded crosses).
On the reverse, the letters GE between the mintmark "lily" (by Henryk Wulf - mintmaster of the Riga mint) and a dot.
Inscribed variety with the titular of the king SIG III ... LI in the rim on the obverse.
Condition: NGC MS64
Minor imperfections, but a beautifully struck and well-preserved piece. Deep relief. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. Very high NGC grade. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and quite difficult to find on the collector market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
