Here are a few more Livonian coins (all Schillings minted in Riga under the authority of Sigismund III). The first is dated (1)600 AD and is attributed as Kopicki 8123. The second is dated (1)601 AD and is attributed as Kopicki 8124. The third is dated (1)605 AD and is attributed as Kopicki 8129.

Thanks for re-posting the poltorak photo. Nice to see some examples of this new type!

My only Livonian issue under SIgismund III is this 1589 trojak.
In the period 1580-1599, only the Lithuanian and Livonian trojaks can be easily identified by the reverse inscription. For example, here we see CIVI RIGE (city of Riga) at the bottom of the reverse (with a nasty die crack as well), and on the Lithuanian issues we see MDLIT, MDLITVA or MDL (Grand Duchy of Lithuania). For the mints in Poland proper, there are mintmaster's symbols, rather than letters for the other 6 mints (for example the ring and triangle for Malbork seen upthread).

I do not have very much experience compared to you and others who are writing books, but I would make these observations (for others who are following, in giedrius' photo, the reverse says this is a 1588 trojak of Lithuania, but the obverse portrait matches the one I posted from Livonia/Riga):
Obverse
1. If it is authentic, then this is a portrait made by the same person making dies in Riga in 1589 not Vilnius. The portrait of Sigismund on Vilnius trojaks in 1589 and 1590 looks like this:

I suppose it is possible the diemaker moved from Vilnius to Riga in the period 1588-1589? But not likely.

2. More common trojaks were made in Olkusz, Poznan and Riga in 1588. All of these types give the king's title as "King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania." However, the coin posted by giedrius has the legend "King of Poland and Duke of Sweden"

Reverse:
1. The symbol in upper left is a symbol of the Jagiello family, but the symbol next to it is the shield of the (Swedish) Vasa family. Sigismund's mother was Jagiello, but his father was Vasa. I don't think the Jagiello symbol appears on any of his other coins.
2. As pointed out by giedrius, all trojaks from Vilnius, before (1580-86 under Bathory) and after (1589-1608 under Sigismund III) have both the Polish eagle and the Lithuanian rider.

From my novice viewpoint, I agree with you, and think fake. Maybe Ivanauskas has some other reasons? Or maybe the die-maker was a Lithuanian nationalist who decided to omit that Sigismund was also Grand Duke of Lithuania on the obverse, and also to omit the Polish eagle reverse, and replace it with a symbol of the (Lithuanian) Jagiello family? And then was banished to Riga for these sins ?
