Article linked with this coin
What distinguishes the mintage of the times of
King Ladislas Vasa (1632–1648) is the lack of small
coin. As early as in 1627, the Sejm banned the issue
of such coin. The reasons behind the ban were
the debasement of domestic coin and an inflow of
a substantial amount of foreign low-quality coins
for speculative purposes.
Consequently, the mintage of King Ladislas Vasa is
associated with impressive thick coins such as gold
ducats and silver half-thalers and thalers. They were
minted both by the crown mint in Bydgoszcz and
mints in Gdańsk and Toruń. We will be particularly
interested in the thaler struck by the Bydgoszcz
mint in 1642 as the coin served to produce a coin
commemorating the mintage of the oldest son of
King Sigismund Vasa.
