| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed panoramic view of the city of Gdańsk (Danzig) as seen from the Motława River, depicting the characteristic skyline of towers and spires above a waterfront with ships; above the cityscape, rays of divine light emanate from the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew characters (יהוה) set within the radiant glory. In the lower exergue, two reclining river-god figures flank the crowned arms of Gdańsk, with the date 1647 divided on either side and the mint-master's initials G-R (for Gerhard Rogge) below. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, with the Latin civic legend running around the full circumference. |

Gdańsk held an unusual constitutional position within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth — nominally subject to the Crown but governing its own mint with considerable autonomy, striking gold on its own civic authority rather than purely at royal command. The dwudukat was a local denomination almost never minted elsewhere in the Commonwealth, reflecting the city's Hanseatic commercial identity and its need for high-value specie suited to Baltic merchant transactions rather than domestic circulation.
Władysław IV died in May 1648, making 1647 issues from his reign among the last struck in his name. This piece predates the catastrophic Swedish wars by less than a decade.
