| Additional information |
Sigismund III had been on the Polish throne barely two years when these ducats were struck at Poznań, his hold on power still contested — Sweden's Riksdag viewed his simultaneous claim to the Swedish crown with deep suspicion, and the Polish szlachta were not yet convinced either. The Poznań mint's output in this period was modest, and dukat production there was never large; the facility served regional commercial needs rather than dynastic ambition.
The three Kopiski references reflect distinct die combinations across the three-year span, each catalogued separately despite near-identical specifications.
