It is an early type minted during a transitional period. Already after the departure of Daniel Koste, when the management of the mint, in the role of acting mincmaster Hanusz Eck. Before he fully took over the office and began to sign coins with his mark.
Very distinctive.

With a distinctive reverse - with the numeral of the denomination III under the Vasa coat of arms, and the Levart coat of arms not inscribed in the shield.
In accordance with the very high degrees of rarity determined by the creators of catalogs.
On the eagle a trace of manipulation, perhaps from a pendant. Weaker tone. Dark patina. Other than that, good presentation.
