The coin retains its mint luster well. It is in good condition, especially for a grosz of this year.
After 1555, the mint’s leaseholder, Feliks, significantly curtailed the issuance of groszy, virtually bringing it to a halt, until 1559, when he received permission to lower the coinage standard. This issue marked the end of grosz coinage at the Lithuanian standard in Vilnius during the reign of Sigismund II Augustus.
