Grosz koronny - Sigismund III Vasa Lublin mint

The Lublin mint operated only briefly under Sigismund III, its activity concentrated in the late 1590s before Warsaw and Bydgoszcz absorbed the bulk of royal coinage production. Lublin's issues from this window are distinguished by subtle but catalogued die variations — Kopicki's references 750 through 753 enumerate distinctions in the crown and legend execution that reflect the inconsistency of a provincial workshop under irregular supervision.

Sigismund III's monetary reforms of the 1590s were partly driven by the flood of debased foreign grosze crossing Commonwealth borders, particularly from Silesia and Prussia. Lublin's short-lived output sits squarely within that reform push.
