"Medals of Sigismund III" by Marian Gumowski was published in print in 1924 in Cracow. Those were the times when items classified today as monetary numismatics, such as donativas, medal thalers and the spectacular studukatka, were counted as medals. For this reason, they are also included in this study.
Sigismund III Vasa was a king who showed great interest in medal-making and goldsmithing, hence the numerous issues, beautiful in form and some even spectacular, such as the huge medal for the conquest of Smolensk. Thus, the study on the medals of Sigismund III is an item of interest to both medal and coin collectors.
"Medals of Sigismund III" is a rare item, sporadically appearing in the trade and achieving high ratings at auctions (including one over 7,000 zlotys).
Offered piece in very nice condition.
