Royal portrait narrower, with the mantle fastened with a small knot.
A great rarity in such excellent state of preservation - to the finest collections.
Obverse: in the rope border an angel holding an oval cartouche with the coat of arms of Toruń, separating the date 16-62, below which are the initials of HD-L mincmaster and mint manager - Hans David Lauer, in the outer border the legend:
