Coin after pendant and chiseled, but very rare in type and with valued provenance.
Behind the king's head an AR collector's punca acquired - from the collection of Anthony Richard.
The first bicorn of the Republic.
A distinctive and typologically necessary denomination, minted in only one year during the reign of Sigismund II. The Vilnius dwagrosh was introduced into circulation along with the foursquares as a convenient common currency for Lithuania and the Crown, since, as Marian Gumowski describes it, when evaluating Lithuanian coins for Crown coins one always received inconvenient fractions.... However, unlike the quadruplets, their issuance was quickly discontinued.
In addition, a very rare variety with pierced date digits (from 1655 to 1565) - not described in the catalog of Lithuanian coins of Sigismund II Augustus.
Legends ended with L / LITV.
