In 1597, a year after Bydgoszcz, two more mints managed by Herman Rüdiger join the minting of pennies. These are Poznań and Wschowa, which only mint this denomination for one year. The present penny is a representative of the Poznań mint. It is issued with a smaller bust, under which a flower has been placed, and two coat-of-arms shields (with a Levart and a Rose) sharing the reverse legend.
Local deficiency on the king's portrait, common for this mint. Traces of several bends. Sound preserved.
Rare, especially in this legend variant (without the abbreviation of the word "Lithuania" at the end of the king's titulature).
