Portrait of the King facing right.
Variety with a dot behind the bear's paw (the mintmark of Daniel Klüwer - tenant of the Danzig mint) on the reverse.

For this type a superbly struck and preserved piece. Beautiful detail. Gloss and mint mirror all over the surface. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade. A rare variety. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
