| Additional information |
Sigismund III Vasa held a genuinely unusual dual position when these coins were struck: King of Poland and, from 1592, King of Sweden simultaneously. The Stockholm mint produced these öre pieces under that joint authority — a circumstance that lasted only until 1599, when the Swedish Riksdag formally deposed him in favor of his uncle Charles. These are among the very few coins struck at a Swedish mint that legitimately carry Polish Commonwealth authority.
Kopicki distinguishes two varieties across consecutive years, catalogued separately as 10526 and 10527.
