542 Livonia Reval 1 Schilling – NGC MS 61
This exceptional silver coin was issued in 1542 in Reval (modern-day Tallinn, Estonia), during the period when Livonia was a significant center of trade and political influence in the Baltic region. Coins from Livonia are highly collected for their connection to medieval European commerce and the complex history of the Teutonic and Baltic territories.
Certified NGC MS 61 (Mint State 61), this remarkable example displays original mint detail and strong preservation for a coin nearly 500 years old. High-grade Livonian issues are particularly desirable due to their limited survival and the challenges of maintaining original surfaces over centuries.
According to the NGC Population Report, only 1 example has been graded MS 61, with just 4 examples graded higher. This places the coin among a select group of finest certified survivors and makes it an important opportunity for collectors of Baltic, European, and world coinage.
A scarce and historically significant Renaissance-era issue, this 1542 Livonia Reval 1 Schilling offers an outstanding combination of rarity, condition, and historical appeal.
