Lot description
Grade: NGC XF45
Certificate: NGC 8237489-002
Reference: Dostych 26.1.01 (R6), Hutten-Czapski 1528 (R6), Kopicki 1333 (R7), Tyszkiewicz 180 mk

A very rare vintage of thalers, absent from many advanced collections.

The 1626 vintage, or one of the first heavy thalers of King Sigismund III. Minted before the period of dominance of "coarse coinage", when on January 11, 1627 the king banned fine coinage.

The thaler coin in the minting of Sigismund III Vasa appears already in the first years of his reign. However, it has a medal-like, prestigious character, and its issues are small. It becomes a coin of general circulation only at the end of his reign, when from 1627 the main crown mint, in Bydgoszcz, focuses its production on this denomination.

All earlier thalers belong to very rare coins. And such is the 1626, with the portrait of the king appearing only in this one year. Known from only one variety.

By Jan Dostych recorded in only a dozen pieces, most of which came from old collections (Frankiewicz, Chelminski, Kubicki) and museum collections.

By Count Tyszkiewicz valued at 180 marks(!), many times higher than the popular 1627-1631 thalers (valued at just 6 mk).
