In 1597, there were two changes in the position of mint director. At the beginning of the year, the mint passed from Daniel Koste to Hanusz Eck, and was subsequently handed over to Melchior Reysner. It was during this third period that the trojak shown above was minted.
A rare variant featuring Reysner’s monogram in a shield at the bottom of the reverse (less common than the monogram without a border).
Type 21 bust.
Variant with “REX PO.”
