By 1760, the Gdańsk mint was operating under considerable strain. August III's reign had seen chronic debasement of the Commonwealth's coinage, and the trojak — a three-groszy piece with roots stretching back to Stefan Batory's monetary reforms of the 1580s — was by this point a shadow of its earlier silver standard. The Gdańsk issues retained marginally better quality than interior mint output, a function of the city's jealously guarded semi-autonomous status and its merchants' insistence on tradeable coin.
Kopicki 7739 is among the later die varieties of this type, struck just three years before August III's death ended the Saxon line's hold on the Polish throne.
