Sigismund I the Old, Half-Grosz, 1521, Vilnius – re-struck – rare
A variant featuring the Pogoń without a sword sheath (rear legs forward) on the obverse and an eagle with its upper feathers pointing toward the eagle’s head (triangular feathers on the neck) on the reverse.
Variant with a colon after LITVANIE
Error—in the rim inscription on the reverse: the letter V was struck over the letter L, and the letter A was struck over the letter V; overprint … :/V L/AITVANIE—rare.
Condition: 3+/2-
Slightly under-struck, but very nicely preserved coin. Rare error —over-strike … :/V L/AITVANIE. A rare coin that is difficult to find on the collectors’ market. An attractive piece for specialized collections.
