Riga - Swedish Occupation. Gustav II Adolf 1/2 Taler 1629 AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Riga mint, KM15, AAJ-7 (R). An exceedingly rare emission of Gustav's historic reign and a relic of his wartime aspirations, one that comes to market so infrequently that even clearly impaired offerings bring substantial sums. Among the most coveted of all Riga issues from the time of Swedish occupation, marred by faint evidence of a prior cleaning visible via light hairlines and an overall muted appearance to the fields and devices. Despite this, ample remnant detail coupled with the absolute rarity will make for an altogether pleasing opportunity for collectors of Swedish types.
