A set of two rare coins of Sigismund II Augustus.
The first is the last type of the first vintage of Sigismund II of Danzig trojaks. Distinguished by the lilies placed under the digits of the date - with a layout also continued in 1558.
The second is the so-called"iconoclastic penny". The first type of Tykocin pennies. Characterized by the presence of the coat of arms of Jastrzębiec (Stanislaw Myszkowski) on the reverse.It is a heraldically controversial coin, since the coat of arms of Myszkowski not only replaced the Pillars of Gediminas (the historical emblem of Lithuania), but was also placed by the engraver on a par with the royal monogram, under the prince's mitre!
