| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of King Władysław IV Vasa facing right, crowned and wearing armour with an elaborate lace collar, holding an orb surmounted by a cross in his right hand and a sceptre over his left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief with exceptional baroque artistry characteristic of Gdańsk goldsmith work. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the royal legend in Latin distributed around the full circumference of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The eight-ducat pieces from Gdańsk occupy a peculiar position in Polish numismatics: they were not currency in any functional sense but prestige objects, struck on special occasions for diplomatic gifts and royal favors. Gdańsk enjoyed unusual minting privileges as a semi-autonomous royal city, and its goldsmith-trained die cutters produced work consistently superior to the crown mints. The 1644 date places this during Władysław IV's costly and ultimately failed preparations for war against the Ottoman Empire, a campaign that never materialized but consumed enormous political and financial energy in his final years.
The Kop# dash indicates Kopicki found no recorded specimen — a meaningful absence in that reference.
