A very rare sixpence.
Contrary to catalog assessments, it is clearly the rarer of the two vintages of Augustus' Elblag sixpence, which is confirmed, among other things, by our archives, where we have had 1762 12 times in its entire history, while we offer this one, 1763, to you for the second time!
In 1763, with the death of August III Sas in October, the Elblag mint ends its operations. In its last year, issuing denominations from the shekel to the dwudukat (stamped sixpence). At the beginning of the year, operating under the management of Schröder, whose place, in the following months, is taken by Friedrich Ludwig Stieber.
The last circulated Elblag sixpence (as those with the initials F.L.S. are attempts).
