Very nice ort. Charming patina. Sheet metal tip.
A variety unlisted in the latest study by Igor Shatalin. With a reverse with a broad crown (ARGE REGNI PO), but combined with the obverse with the CASIM titulature.... P&S. This reverse is described by Szatalin only for the obverse with CASIMI, giving it a very high rarity grade of R5.
The first vintage of John Casimir's orthos minted according to the new minting ordinance from sterling silver (16 lows - pure bullion).
