POLAND. Taler, 1630-II. Sigismund III. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, EF Details Gold Shield.
Dav-4315; KM-48.1; Gum-1219; cf.HCz-1617/18. An interesting example of this seldom encountered type with an apparently unlisted obverse legend variant, a singular stop without florette at the end of the obverse legend coupled with the known reverse legend which exhibits "HR" instead of the normal "HB". This decently preserved survivor offers a good strike with bold details and mostly even wear. Unfortunately, the open field in front of the intricate portrait appears to have been repaired and remnants of a mount removal are noticed at 12 o'clock near the rim. Despite its shortcomings this desirable type is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
