| Additional information |
The "Z MIEDZI KRAIOWEY" inscription — meaning "from domestic copper" — was a deliberate political statement. Polish copper coinage of this period was explicitly tied to domestic mining output, part of Poniatowski's broader effort to reform a monetary system that had been debased and manipulated throughout the Saxon dynasty's rule. The Four-Year Sejm of 1788–1792 overlapped directly with the later dates of this issue, and the fiscal pressures of that reform period are reflected in mintage volumes that fluctuated sharply year to year.
Kop#2259–2271 encompasses several die varieties across the run.
