| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned bust of Sigismund III Vasa facing right, wearing an elaborate ruff collar, rendered in the portrait style typical of late 16th-century Polish royal coinage. The king's crown is large and ornate with fleur-de-lis finials. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy reading SIG III D G R POLONI M D L, abbreviating his royal titles as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's field, with the legend running close to the toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Olkusz was one of the most productive mints in the Commonwealth during the 1590s, drawing on the silver-rich ores of the nearby Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Sigismund III's early reign saw a deliberate push to standardize the trojak across multiple mint sites, but Olkusz issues from these years are distinguishable by die characteristics catalogued under the Iger references — O.93 through O.95 representing three consecutive annual emissions.
The mint lost its coining privilege shortly after, suspended amid recurring complaints about substandard silver content that plagued Polish minor coinage throughout the decade.
