Nicely preserved details. A lot of luster in the background.
Unusual crown penny from 1527 with a completely different crown decoration.
The only type of Cracow groshes of Sigismund I the Old having bows and flowers on the front rim and vertical dashes on the back rim.
It was most likely a single stamp with such a crown, as the author of the grosz catalog claims that all the coins known to him with such a crown are struck with the same obverse stamp.
Such a variant is found in Romanczyk's catalog with an assigned rarity of RRRR (4 to 10 known pieces).
Obverse: under the crown the legend:
SIGISMVND/PRIM*REX/POLONIE, below the Odrowąż coat of arms between open colons;
Reverse: in the pearl rim an eagle with a spread tail, in the outer rim the legend:
COIN*REGNI*POLONIE*1527;
