| Additional information |
1657 was the year the Swedish siege of Danzig finally collapsed — the city had held out through the worst of the Deluge, and its mint never stopped operating. That unbroken production is precisely why Gdańsk szelągi from this period survive in comparatively decent condition; the city's relative stability meant coins saw orderly rather than crisis circulation. Kopicki 7601 is among the better-documented varieties of this reign.
