The first vintage of John Casimir's orts, minted according to the new minting ordinance from sterling silver (16 lows - pure bullion).
A rare variant with the Arabic numeral 1 in the denomination 1-8 and the legend of the obverse: CASIMI / PETS and the reverse: ARGE / REGNI PO.
One of the most beautiful, in our opinion, orts of the 1650 vintage to appear on the domestic numismatic market.
A magnificent, selected piece, in mint fresh condition, sharp relief details, the reverse struck with a delicately clipped stamp.
Beautiful, vivid luster falling into the mirror, refined by an extremely charming patina.
Very rare in such excellent state of preservation.
The coin in 2019. graded by PDA Sergius Stube as condition 1- which only confirms the class of this numismat.
For the best collections!
