This 41mm brass replica with 2.5mm thickness faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and five-shield heraldic reverse of the original Kraków Mint strike. This piece is a Polish Renaissance historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigismund II Augustus (1520–1572) was the last king of the Jagiellonian dynasty and one of the most significant rulers in Polish history, presiding over the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the peak of its cultural and political golden age. His reign saw the signing of the Union of Lublin in 1569 — formally uniting Poland and Lithuania into one of the largest states in Europe. The five heraldic shields on the reverse reflect the extraordinary complexity of the Commonwealth's territorial claims, incorporating the symbols of Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, and the Holy Roman Empire. The Talar denomination — from which the word \"dollar\" ultimately derives — was the premier large silver coin of Central Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Free worldwide shipping   ✔ Secure checkout   ✔ Securely packaged for safe arrival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e King Sigismund II Augustus armoured portrait obverse \/ Five-shield heraldic cross reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sigismvndvs·Aug·R·Ex·Polo·M·D·Li \/ Lætabitvr·Rex·Devs·Invictvs·Aug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securely packaged, ready for display or gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCollectors of Polish, Lithuanian and Central European coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSigismund II Augustus and Jagiellonian dynasty history enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRenaissance and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth numismatic collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay in coin cabinets, shadow boxes, or collector trays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnique gift for Polish history and heraldry lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree worldwide tracked shipping.
