Sigismund I the Old, Grosz 1530, Torun - TERR COMV - undescribed and very rare
Bust of Sigismund I the Old in crown and armor (Roman type 1D). Shoulder piece composed of two elements. Armor collar composed of four elements. There are no rivets on the epaulet and collar.
Variety of the Royal Prussian Eagle with a thick tail with a sword in the hand on the right side (Romanian type 2C).
Inscribed variety with the King's titulature ending in .... PRV and an obverse inscription on the reverse GROSS ... PRVS - very rare, not described in the specialized Romanist catalog
Error - in the obverse obverse inscription struck ... TERR COMV ... instead of ... COMV TERR ..., altered word order of the obverse inscription - very rare.
State of preservation: 3+
A nicely preserved piece. Very rare syntax error of the obverse obverse inscription - TERR COMV ... An undescribed inscription variation in the specialized catalog of Romanczyk. Coin very rare and very difficult to get on the collector market. Piece for specialized collections.
