Sigismund I the Old, Groschen 1540, Danzig

A nice piece that isn't fully struck in the center.

Much of the mint luster is preserved in the background.

Obverse: within a pearl border, the crowned coat of arms of Gdańsk; within the outer border, a legend beginning with the hook symbol:
GROSSVS•CIVI•GEDANEN•1540;

Reverse: within a pearl border, a royal bust wearing a cap and crown, facing right; in the outer border, a legend beginning with an asterisk:
SIGIS•I•REX•POLO•DO•TO•PRVSS;
