| Beschrijving keerzijde | Detailed panoramic view of the city of Toruń (Thorn) as seen from the River Vistula, depicting a skyline of numerous church spires, towers, and civic buildings rendered in fine relief against an open field. Small boats are visible on the river in the foreground, conveying the city's importance as a river trading center. At the top of the field, the city's heraldic mark or mint symbol appears above the cityscape. The date 1659 is incorporated into the composition within the field. The surrounding Latin legend reads: EX∙AVRO∙SOLIDO∙CIVIT:THORVNENS:FIERI F:, indicating the piece was made from solid gold of the City of Toruń. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1659 Toruń three-ducat piece was struck in the immediate aftermath of the First Northern War — the devastating Swedish occupation that left large parts of Royal Prussia economically hollowed out. Toruń itself had been besieged, and the city's right to mint continued to function as a assertion of civic autonomy under the Polish crown even as that autonomy was being systematically eroded.
Jan II Kazimierz abdicated in 1668, and the Toruń mint's output during his reign is notably irregular in both quality and surviving numbers. This three-ducat denomination was never a circulation piece; it was struck for presentation or diplomatic purposes.
