The thalers of Sigismund III (part I)

We continue our publications in the collector's guide. Today we will talk about the Polish thalers, which were minted in the reign of Sigismund III. Thalers during the reign of this king were minted both at the royal mint and in the city of Toruni. Crown thalers were minted from 1587 until the last year of the reign in 1632.

The thalers sold on Violence are shown below. The purpose of the publication is not to fully describe all the types of thalers of this period, but to present the actual original copies sold, which can serve as a visual aid for collectors.

At the beginning, we see two instances of light thalers. The first one exists in triplicate and has not been publicly sold anywhere else in the world except for Violence.



Another light thaler in excellent condition is described in detail in this article

Below are the thalers of regular coinage.
The 1628 rarity coin is R1.



All other coins are crown thalers minted in 1630
