Sigismund II Augustus, Half-penny 1556, Vilnius - LI/LITVΛ - A without crossbar - rare
Seventh type of Eagle and twelfth type of Hound.
Inscribed variety with the king's titulature on the obverse ending in ... LI and an obverse inscription on the reverse ending in ... LITVA
The letter A in LITVΛ lacks a crossbar - rare.
Condition: 2+
Slight disc defect resulting in shortage of the rim, but a beautifully preserved coin. Mint luster and mirror finish. Rare and underappreciated error of the letter A in LITVΛ - no crossbar. An attractive coin for specialized collections.
