This specimen was lot 45609 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $65. The catalog description[1] noted, "POLAND. Livonia (Riga). Solidus, (16)55. Riga Mint. Karl X Gustav. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield. Struck during the Swedish occupation. A well centered and very boldly detailed Solidus, with bright metallic field luster and some rust-colored streaks on the planchet." This obscure type is listed for 1654-60. This denomination issued for queen Christina (KM 21) is quite a bit more available. Riga and Livonia were seized by Sweden from Poland in 1621 and retained by them until their loss to Russia in 1721.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver.
Catalog reference: KM-50.
