Poland, Lithuania. Segismundo II Augusto (1548-1572). 1/2 Groat 1556 - NGC MS63

POLAND. Vilnius. 1/2 Groat. 1556. Sigismund II Augustus (1548-1572) - Value: 1/2 Groat. - Reign: Sigismund II Augustus (1548-1572). - Year: 1556. - Inscriptions: Obverse: SIGIS AVG REX PO MAG DVX LI. Reverse: MONETA MAGNI DVCAT LITVA · 1556. - Grading: MS63 (NGC). Silver half-Groat coin minted in Vilnius during the reign of Sigismund II Augustus. The obverse features the Pogoń, the heraldic emblem of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, with a knight on horseback, sword raised, and shield, accompanied by the date 1556 beneath the motif; the reverse shows the heraldic eagle with wings spread, surrounded by the legend. Renaissance in style and characteristic hammer-struck execution of the 16th century, the piece preserves exceptionally sharp reliefs, with excellent definition in the rider, the horse’s anatomy, the eagle’s plumage, and a large part of the peripheral legends. The fields retain notable freshness and metallic luster, with a natural silvery tone and minor irregularities typical of the minting process. Its high grade, certified MS63 by NGC, allows a clear appreciation of the heraldic elements of a representative issue of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania’s monetary system under the Jagiellonian dynasty.
