Mint sixpence from the occupation era. The coin is very rarely found in such excellent states of preservation.
In 1656 the Swedish army enters the city for the second time in the 17th century. After a siege of several days, Elblag surrenders to the troops of Charles X Gustav and remains under their occupation until the Peace of Oliva in 1660. King Charles of Sweden, following the example of his predecessors, begins minting coins from the shekel to the orta to finance further warfare. Among them are sixpences, a denomination minted for two years.
The second and final vintage of the Swedish Elblag sixpences.Beautiful background mirror. Very good embossing quality for this type.
Variety with a small cross starting the legend.
In this condition, a rarity.
