Rare variety of 5 groszy 1840, struck at the Warsaw Mint in silver.
This specimen represents the variant with the more convex belly of the digit 5 in the denomination and without the following dot. Such die variations make the small denominations of the Kingdom of Poland particularly interesting and sought after among collectors.
The coin was struck with great care, showing well-defined elements of the wreath and legend. The details of the design remain sharp and crisp, highlighting the quality of this example.
Gem uncirculated. Graded MS65 by NGC.
An exceptionally attractive and rare variety in a excellent state of preservation, virtually unseen in circulation. A superb opportunity for advanced collectors of the Kingdom of Poland coinage – highly recommended!
