1 Mark - Sigismund of Poland

Sigismund III Vasa held the Swedish throne for only four years before being deposed by his uncle Charles IX, but his tenure produced one of the more politically charged coinages in Scandinavian history. Born and raised Catholic in Poland, Sigismund's rule over Lutheran Sweden was perpetually unstable — the marks struck in his name during 1594–95 were issued while his grip on the kingdom was already slipping following his coronation at Uppsala.

The Kopicki references 10531 and 10532 distinguish between die variants from this short window, both struck at Stockholm.
