The sixpence, which is the highest and rarest denomination of Albrecht's minting.
A typologically necessary coin, which, like the sixpences of Sigismund I the Old (Albrecht's superior, proof of which can be seen on the eagle's chest), is very rarely found in trade, regardless of the vintage.
The present one (1535) has been listed at auction in Poland only a few times. In this variety, most likely never.
It is the last ever fief sixpence of the Duchy of Prussia.
It closes the short, only three-year history of issuance of this denomination. Minted after the monetary union of the Crown with Prussia. With an iconography consistent with the Toruń sixpences of 1532-1535.
A variety with a double obverse (cord and pearl) on the side with the Eagle, instead of a single one.
First time in our history.
Obverse: bust of Albert to the right, in the rim an inscription divided by a shield:
ALBERTVS D G MAR BRAN DVX PRVSSI.
Reverse: eagle in an ornamental shield, with a monogram S on the breast (the monogram of Sigismund I), above the shield the denomination VI, on the sides the letters K-I. In the rim an inscription begun with a trilobed: GROS AR SEXDVP DVCIS PRVSSIE 1535.
