Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Gustaf Vasa 1/2 Mark 1544, Svartsjo mint, SM-191 (Rare), MS62 NGC. Nicely toned with flashes of original mint brilliance, a sharply struck example of this very scarce type. The obverse features a classic half bust of the King with sword and royal orb. A most appealing coin and certainly rare in Mint State. Variety with stars in the reverse legends.
