POLAND. Ducat, 1654-MW. Wschowa Mint. John Casimir. PCGS Genuine--Rim Repaired, AU Details.
Fr-90; KM-102; H-C-5887 (R6); Kop-1864 (R7). The letters on this piece refer to Münstatte Wschowiensis, the name of the mint. A special Ducat produced at the short lived Wschowa mint, and by that virtue a RARE piece. The Wschowa mint was opened to support an upswing in demand in coinage necessitated to pay Polish troops for the impending and ever present conflicts the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth had with Sweden. Very few Ducats from this mint survive today and are desirable in any condition they come in. PCGS notes a rim repair that is most evident at 6 o'clock. This repair does not take away from the attractive nature of the piece. Good luster and detail remain evident. A chance for the collector to find a piece from a seldom seen mint.
From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
