Rare variety with reversed decoration in front of the king's name (hooks the other way). Minted with the same obverse stamp as the piece illustrated in the Catalogue of Danzig Orts.
Representative of Type II of the Danzig Orts from the short issue of 1615-16. A compositionally beautiful design by Samuel Ammon - with a new type of portrait (with a wide orifice) and a new reverse (with an oval shield of the coat of arms).
Scratches on the coat of arms shield, otherwise circulated art, in uneven patina.
