tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7993 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 09:53 am 1546 Poland 1 grosz / groschen Krakow mint, followed by a Lithuanian halfgroat (auction photo, coin in transit). 1545-48 is an interesting date range for Poland collectors. After 4 years with no coin production (1541-44), coins are minted in the name of both Sigismund I (the Krakow groschen, "SIGISMVND PRIM REX") and Sigismund II August (Lithuania halfgroat, "SIGIS AVG REX"). Sigismund I died in 1548, after which his son reigned solo until his death in 1572. Edited by tdziemia 05/09/2021 09:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
