The minting of Ladislaus I is dominated by denarii whose obverse is a bust with the ruler's name in the rim, while the reverse is a building with three towers topped with crosses (in a plain border, with CRACOV+ in the rim). Deviations from this type occur only occasionally, and this piece is one of them.
A very rare type - with towers topped with spheres and a central cross (- + - -). The type estimated by E. Kopicki at a high degree of rarity - R6.
Variety with plain border on the reverse, on the obverse with a caricature portrait of the ruler.
Piece deficient in the rim, with a slight scrape at the obverse border. Correctly stamped drawing elements.
Ex. outstanding medieval collection (from 10 Marciniak auctions).
Silver, diameter 14.5 mm, weight 0.70 g.
