Beschrijving voorzijde Armored and draped bust of King Stefan Batory facing right, wearing an elaborate crown surmounted by a cross, with a bearded visage rendered in high relief characteristic of Renaissance hammered coinage. The king is depicted in richly detailed royal regalia, including ornate plate armor with decorative elements visible at the shoulder and chest. A beaded inner border frames the central effigy. The circumferential Latin legend reads STEPHAN D G REX POL M D L, identifying the ruler as Stefan by the Grace of God King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Aanvullende informatie

Batory's półtalar coinage from Olkusz reflects the administrative reorganization of the Polish crown mint system following his contested election in 1576 — he was chosen by the szlachta over the Habsburg candidate Maximilian II, and establishing a coherent royal coinage was among his earliest assertions of authority. Olkusz, sitting atop rich silver-bearing lead deposits in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, was the natural choice for heavy silver production.

Kop#542 and Kop#543 represent distinct die variants within the type. Attribution between them frequently turns on the rendering of the crown above the shield and punctuation details in the legend.
