A question about the legend on these Polish coins of the mid-1530s.
Earlier in the thread, we discussed how the allegiance of Prussia changed from HRE to Poland around 1525.
So on the Sigismund I coins we see REX PO DO TOCI PRUSSIE.
The REX PO is easy (King of Poland). I assume DO is short for DOMINUS (Lord of ...).
What is TOCI?

Thank you! Also an excellent reference on the coinage of this king.
It mentions the "Renaissance" portrait of Sigismund starting in 1528. I wonder if any of the collectors of medievals who post on this thread have earlier coins (other countries) with this type of portrait? With or without a date.

Here is my Hungarian Denar dated 1534 AD (still Huszar 935):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I've got a sparse patch for the next decade. Got outbid recently on a nice lot of Polish groszy that covered 1527-32  |

Looks like the geographic focus of my OFEY collection is about to shift from Poland to Lithuania. I can look in Kopicki for you though. For the moment, here is another Hungarian Denar (dated 1553 AD):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is a uniface 2 Pfennig from the German Bishopric of Passau dated 1532 AD (attributed as Schulten 2644 in addition to being in Krause).   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
