On the reverse, the letters A–T (the initials of Andrzej Tymf—the leaseholder of the Kraków mint) appear on either side of the shield.
Variant inscription … SALVS on the obverse.
Error—in the outer rim inscription on the obverse, instead of … SERVATA …, … SERVAT … was struck—rare.
Error—in the inner rim inscription on the obverse, instead of … METALLO …, … METALO … was struck—rare.
Condition:
Minor flaws in the metal and strike characteristic of this type of coin, but a beautifully preserved piece. Good detail. Luster and plenty of mint mirror finish. Rare SERVAT and METALO errors. In this condition, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collectors’ market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
