Nice coin, detail is pretty flat though - Cleaned Very Good, maybe a bit better like Very Good +.

Thanks to all who put their ego on the line
For my Poland OFEY collection, there were no coins minted in Poland proper in 1689. BUT, Courland which was a vassal state of Poland issued this coin, in the name of both the Polish king, Jan Sobieski, and the Duke of Courland, Fiedrich Casimir Kettler. So it's as close as I can get.

This type often shows up with large areas completely lacking in detail, so even this amount is considered a pretty attractive example. However, it's these kinds of results that make me think I know absolutely NOTHING about the process of grading coins:
