Trial coin. Lack of mint marks makes mint identification difficult. Gumovski suggested that coin was minted in Bydgoszcz due to its similarity to Polish tymf.

Interesting fact
The Pattern Złoty coin featuring John II Casimir Vasa (Wilno/Bydgoszcz) 1666 is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a "pattern" coin because it was not minted for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin, making it highly sought after by collectors.
