Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sigismund I the Old (Kraków) 1528-1529 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Poland. The country was transitioning from a feudal society to a more centralized state, and the coinage was an important tool for promoting trade and commerce. The coin's design, which features a crowned eagle on one side and the king's name and title on the other, reflects the growing influence of Western culture and the rise of a strong, centralized monarchy in Poland during this period.
