Penning met portret van Sigismund III, koning van Polen en Zweden 1625

This anonymous 17th-century print depicts a coin featuring the profile of Sigismund III Vasa, King of Poland and Sweden, on one side and the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on the other. The detail in the portrait is quite intricate, showing the king’s crown, beard, and the elaborate collar of his attire. The reverse side showcases a crowned cross, symbolizing the country’s religious identity, flanked by two lions holding shields. This small-scale print serves as a historical record of Polish-Lithuanian coinage during Sigismund III’s reign.
