Excellent state of preservation and quality of minting, especially for this type.
A silver token commemorating the coronation of Stanislaw August Poniatowski in 1764. As Raczynski points out in his description:
"...minted in Torun, the token was scattered to the community on the third day after the coronation had already taken place, when the king in a very holy procession rode to the Holy Cross church of the missions and returned from there. For the treasurer of the crown showered these bullet coins with a generous hand on all sides...".
