A mint piece of a large rare Elblag sixpence.

In the last years of the reign of Augustus III Sas, in a country flooded with counterfeit coinage of Frederick the Great, three Polish cities - Gdansk, Torun and just Elblag - decide to defend their market. They start issuing coins. In the case of the Elbląg mint, these are first shekels (starting in 1760), which are joined by other denominations in subsequent years. Elblag issues its first sixpences in 1762, at a mint under the management of Jost Carl Schröder, whose initials I.C.S. are affixed to them.

Variety with an oval shield of arms, in an ornate cartouche.

Bust of the king wide, clearly separating the inscription at the bottom.

Beautiful state of preservation. Mint background mirror subdued only by a nice patina. Sharp relief.

A very attractive collector's value.

Silver, diameter 23.5 mm, weight 2.90 g.
