Denier Bracteate gdański - Casimir IV Jagiellon Gdańsk mint

Gdańsk gained the right to mint coins under Casimir IV following the Thirteen Years' War, when the city — formerly under Teutonic Order control — was reintegrated into the Polish Crown by the Second Peace of Toruń in 1466. The bracteate form, already archaic by the mid-fifteenth century, persisted in Gdańsk and the surrounding region well after most European minting had abandoned single-sided uniface fabric for thicker, double-sided coinage.

The long date range assigned to this type reflects attribution difficulty rather than certainty — bracteates of this period rarely carry explicit dating, and assignment to Casimir IV's reign rests primarily on comparative die study and the Kopicki reference sequence.
