Sigismund II Augustus, 3 Groschen 1557, Danzig

Very nicely preserved details, trace of bending. Freshness of the background.

Nevertheless, the piece is definitely worth recommending.

Variety without the inner rim on the reverse.

The first vintage of trojaks minted in Gdansk during the reign of Sigismund Augustus.

Obverse: inscription in four lines:
+III+/GROS○AR/TRIP○CIVI/GEDANEN; below, punctuated by a Polish-type shield with the coat of arms of Gdańsk, the date: +15-57+;

Reverse: royal bust in crown and plate armor, to the right, surrounded by legend:
SIGIS-AVG-REX-PO-D-PRVS;
