| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned arms of Gdańsk displayed on an oval cartouche at centre, bearing two crosses (the Danzig civic arms) surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is supported on the left by a rampant lion and on the right by a rampant stag, both rendered in fine Baroque detail. A decorative wreath of oak and laurel branches crowns the composition at the top of the field. The mint-master's initials G·R appear in the lower field flanking a cartouche enclosing the date 1639, while the full Latin legend encircles the design along the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The półtalar — literally a half-thaler — was struck at Gdańsk under a long-standing municipal minting privilege that the city jealously guarded throughout the seventeenth century. Gdańsk operated with considerable autonomy within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and its mint answered to city council interests as much as royal ones. Władysław IV's reign saw ongoing friction over just how independently the city could conduct its monetary affairs.
The Kop references here span five distinct die combinations across seven years, reflecting the mint's active output during a period when Gdańsk's Baltic trade made hard silver coinage a practical daily necessity rather than a prestige issue.
