Grade: -1 ex.NGC MS62
Quality: 4.5/5
Reference: CNCT 1698 (R4), Kopicki 8330 (R3)

Rare variety of the Thorvnensis 1/4 thaler with the incorrect inscription TIIRVNENSIS instead of THORVNENSIS, with two letters II instead of the letter H, and with the letter R punctuated. The variety with the letter H in the inscription THRVNENSIS in the Dutkowski-Suchanek catalog "Corpvs Nvmmorvm Civitatis Thorvnensis" is specified with a rarity grade of R4, which is already a rare item, and in the case of the presented piece we have a significant increase in rarity thanks to II instead of H. On the reverse, on the sides of the city coat of arms, the initials HDL of Hans Dawid Lauer, mincmaster of the Torun mint.

As a curiosity, it should be added that the authors of the catalog in Corpvs Nvmmorvm Civitatis Thorvnensis did not pay attention to this error, qualifying the coin as a variety with the inscription THRVNENSIS. The error was probably caused by a clogged stamp after a certain piece was struck, as a result of which the last pieces struck do not have a bar in the letter H and it looks like two letters II.

Rarity in beautiful state of preservation.

The detail for this issue is exquisitely rendered, the background exceptionally fresh, with a strong mint luster.

Superb coin.
