Półtalar koronny - Stanisław August Poniatowski Warszawa mint

The półtalar of 1771 falls squarely within the period of the First Partition's gestation — Russia, Prussia, and Austria were already in quiet negotiation by this point, and Poniatowski's government was effectively a client administration operating under Russian military occupation. The Warsaw mint continued striking silver coinage as though normal governance persisted, a fiction both the king and his creditors found convenient.

The ParM#1267a reference places this within Plage-Majewski's classification of crown coinage, a catalog notorious among Polish specialists for inconsistent die attribution. Kop#2430 is the more trusted anchor here.
