Lot description
Grade: XF
Reference: Kopicki 32 (R1), Stronczyński T.35

A rarer type of royal image, by P. Chabrzyk classified as a first issue, but it is possible that it could also be an issue from another mint workshop (more on our YouTube here).

On the present piece, the prince's mouth is interestingly depicted, technically a bit in the style of an eye depiction. Here they give the impression as if the prince has something in his mouth, or as if one wanted to depict his tongue(?). Characteristic of the style of this issue is the depiction of a fragment of the prince's torso, here unprecedentedly large and careful, in proportion occupying more than 1/3 of the entire image (in the most common issue the torso is practically absent, usually marked only schematically, in the form of a section).

The lettering of the obverse is neat, in the rim the legible ending of the name ...ZLAVS (a very interesting typeface of the letter A).

On the reverse fully visible building with three crosses. The crosses made neatly and evenly, but the side walls (palisades?) here clumsy, while the central gate(?) is very clearly outlined. Three letters are visible in the rim, with two of them only partially, in outline.

A nice and stylistically interesting piece in cabinet patina.

Silver, diameter 14 mm, weight 0.57 g.
