Beschrijving keerzijde A large upright sword with an ornate crossguard featuring globular quillon terminals and a floral rosette at the centre of the guard dominates the field, its point directed upward and its pommel tapering to a drop shape at the base. A small mint mark or engraver's symbol appears below the pommel near the lower field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a wreath-bordered outer band carrying the circumferential Latin legend PRO IVRE ET POPVLO with the date 1587 distributed around the left arc. The motto, meaning 'For Law and the People', reflects the political circumstances of Sigismund III's contested election to the Polish throne.

Aanvullende informatie

Sigismund III Vasa's accession year of 1587 was anything but settled — his election was contested by Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg, who actually invaded Poland and had to be defeated militarily at the Battle of Byczyna in January 1588 before the matter was closed. Coinage struck at Olkusz in that first regnal year was produced under genuine political uncertainty about who would ultimately rule. The Olkusz mint, operating on the strength of local silver-lead deposits in the Lesser Poland region, was one of the more active Crown mints of the period.

The Kop# reference remains unassigned, suggesting this emission either escaped Kopicki's documentation or represents a variety he did not catalog — worth noting when assessing rarity relative to the Gumowski citation.
