| Additional information |
Władysław IV ruled Poland-Lithuania from 1632 until his death in 1648, a reign defined by near-constant military pressure from Muscovy, the Ottomans, and the Cossack hetmanate. He never achieved his most obsessive ambition: reclaiming the Swedish throne, to which he held a dynastic claim through his father Sigismund III Vasa but which the Riksdag had no intention of honoring.
This 1999 issue is part of NBP's long-running series commemorating Polish kings — coins struck in modest quantities primarily for the collector market rather than circulation. The .900 fine gold specification places it in line with earlier issues in the royal portrait series.
