Casimir the Great's monetary reform introduced new types of coins into minting. Its main denomination became the half-penny, which from then on, for the next two centuries, became the basis of Polish monetary circulation. Today it enjoys great respect from collectors.
What distinguishes this piece is its very nice state of preservation. It is a coin with a natural mint luster. Well minted, as well as coming from nice stylistic stamps.
It is the rarer Type IV according to the study of Marek Poznanski - with a large figure of the king, sharing the obturator of his head and scepter, with the royal apple at his chest. Struck before the decline in the quality of engraved stamps.
Variety without the cross and punctuation in the obverse legend.
Obverse: crowned figure seated on a throne, with apple and sceptre, flanked by ribbons. In the rim: +MONETA KAZIMIR (instead of the popular KAZIMIRI).
Reverse: eagle with outspread wings, facing left. In the rim: + REGIS ... POLONIE - K.
