Wschowa — known in German as Fraustadt — operated as a mint for the Jagiellonian crown during a period when Poland's monetary administration was fragmented across multiple regional centers, each striking to loosely controlled standards. The deniers from this mint are among the harder regional types to attribute with confidence, which is why Kopicki lists them across two adjacent numbers rather than a single unified entry.
Ladislaus II came to the Polish throne through the Union of Krewo in 1385, converting from paganism to secure the crown — a political transaction that shaped the dynasty for over a century. The Wschowa issues fall somewhere within his long reign, and precise dating within that window remains unresolved.
