Picked up this lovely Polish coin a couple weeks ago from @Bob13 consignment auctions on eBay ( @airplanenut ) . It arrived Sunday, and I'm very happy with it. It features the Vytis on the upper right reverse, which is a nice addition to my collection.
Very nice eye appeal in hand! @Bob13 has a great eye for quality - this is the 3rd ex-Bob13 coin added to my collection this year.

That's really a terrific looking coin! I had expected more striking weakness, which I don't know if it is common or not, but it looks wonderful.

Great coin - great pics, and glad you like it!

Glad you like it! This was a neat piece. I'm always a fan of well-struck older coins nice enough in design and quality to resemble issues produced a few hundred years later.
Excellent piece
