| Additional information |
The tymf was a debased silver denomination introduced in the Commonwealth during the mid-seventeenth century, its name derived from the Kraków merchant Andreas Tymf who contracted its production. By 1763, the coin had long been regarded with suspicion by the population — decades of underweight and alloy-adulterated issues had made tymfs synonymous with monetary fraud. This particular Elbląg example comes from the final year of Augustus III's reign; he died in October of that year, making late-1763 strikings the last of his coinage from that mint.
Kop. 7194 is among the final tymf issues before the denomination was effectively abandoned under Stanisław August Poniatowski.
