| Aanvullende informatie |
Sigismund's Swedish coinage occupies one of the stranger episodes in Scandinavian monetary history. Already king of Poland when he inherited the Swedish throne in 1592, he spent most of his reign abroad in Warsaw, leaving Sweden governed by his uncle Duke Charles. The coins struck in his name reflect a reign conducted largely by proxy — and a king who never truly controlled the country whose currency bore his portrait.
Duke Charles deposed him in 1599, one year after this series ended. Sigismund never returned.
