Coin with a beautiful glossy background showing light rubbing. Multicolored patina. Lovely uncirculated detail.
Presentation in person nicer than in photos.
Variety with a cross-section of the crown over the shaded shield of the coat of arms.
By a resolution of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Cracow was established as a free city with the right to mint its own coinage. However, it only exercised this right in 1834, when the Polish eagle was replaced with a Russian eagle on the coins in circulation until then. These coins were minted in Vienna, based on the old coinage of the Kingdom of Poland, but with the city's coat of arms.
