Rare vintage of the ort of Jan II Casimir from the sought-after and highly desirable Elbląg mint.
Second year of orts with the initials N-H of Mikołaj Henning, mint master of Elbląg in the years 1652–1665, also known from the coinage of Charles Gustav during the period of Swedish occupation.
One of the most beautiful Elbląg orts of this year recorded to date at public auctions, including museum collections.
A piece appearing only sporadically on the auction market.
Excellent provenance from the distinguished Potocki Collection.
Great rarity in beautiful condition.
Highly recommended!
Averse: bust of the King to the right
