[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1832623, member: 54140"]For the past two years I have participated in a world wide secret santa exchange through a website called reddit. For those of you who don't know it I wouldn't recommend it since it is a huge time waster! This year there were over 100,000 people matched across the world. My gift arrived today from Poland and I was very pleased to see a coin inside alongside a lot of various treats. Ruler: Sigismund II Augustus Year: 1559 Denomination: Half Gross Obv: MONETA MAGNI DVCAT LITVA, knight riding left on horseback, reins in left, sword in right, star and 1559 below Rev: SIGIS AVG REX PO MAG DVX LI, imperial eagle facing, wings spread, head left [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1XGl46ul.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/uE6vs0al.jpg[/IMG] I am unsure of the mint and am curious if anyone knows a way of identifying it? I am quite happy with this coin and am already looking forward to next year![/QUOTE]
