The beginning of the issue of orts in Cracow coincides with the Deluge. The city begins minting this denomination in 1655, after the Sejm in 1654 annihilated the reform from the beginning of the reign of Jan Kazimierz. The mint was leased to St. Chrzastowski, who hired Jan Thamm as mint manager. Already in October the mint fell into Swedish hands, and it is from the occupation period that this rare ort comes.
Variety without Stanislaw Chrzastowski's initials (SCH), with a flower at the bottom of the reverse, under the treasurer's coat of arms.
Rare notation of legends: CASIMIR / POLO, known this year only from these stamps.
Very nice. Both in terms of the quality of the minting and the luster preserved.
