LITHUANIA. 1/2 Ducat, 1665-TLB. Vilnius Mint. Johann Casimir (1649-68). PCGS MS-62.
Fr-10; KM-54.2; Ivanauskas-9JK3-3; Kop-3630; Parch-1740. VERY RARE gold issue struck during the period of Polish domination. Nicely struck and remarkably well preserved. A strong strike has left full legends and devices, a small touch of doubling at the base of the neck but otherwise bold and clear with highly lustrous gleaming fields. Reverse legend with longer Lithuanian title which according to Ivanauskas is more rarely encountered than the abbreviated variety. No signs of contact or handling to be found and absolutely worthy of its mint state status. Seldom offered and certainly one of the nicest examples available anywhere. PCGS MS-62.
Estimate: $11000.00- $13000.00
