- Stefan Batory's sheet

During the reign of Stefan Batory, the crown sheems (Olkusz, Poznań), Lithuanian (Vilnius), Pruskie (Malbork) and Miejskie (Riga, Gdańsk) were broadcast. In addition, during the war of Gdańsk with Rzeczpospolita, in 1577 siege szelągi was killed in Gdańsk. With the exception of the latter, the szelągi had a silver at 7/8 Łuta, weighed an average of 1.134 GI contained 0.204 g of pure ore. The siege shells contained much less silver.

 The iconographic diagram of Olkusz emissions (1579-1586) was crystallized only after some time. Initially, three teeth were placed on the obverse, and on the reverse of the Polish eagle. From 1580, a diagram with the royal monogram "S" under the crown and coat of arms of the sub -shrub of Jan Dulski at the bottom and the Otroke inscription has been established on the obverse. On the reverse, under the crown were the coats of arms of Poland and Lithuania, the bottom of the Otokowy inscription - three teeth. (As an exception, you can treat the variety from 1581, where only the coat of arms of Lithuania was placed on the reverse).

 The emissions of Mennice Poznańska (1585-1586) and Vilnius (1579-1585) took over this general scheme. In the years 1584, 1585, the Malbork Mint came out for Royal Prussia. Although there was a Polish eagle with a coat of arms on the reverse with three teeth on the chest, which could suggest that they were crown and not Prussian emissions, the case was settled by the inscription in the rim: Solidvs Terrarvm PRVS (szeląg of Prussian land).

 Szelągi Rykekie (1582-1586), like Malbork, on the obverse they had a "S" monogram under the crown with a coat of arms three teeth and a rim inscription. However, the reverse was of course the Riga coat of arms and the hitch inscription.

 On the obverse of Gdańsk Szelągów (1578-1582, 1584) an eagle with an armed arm and a crown on the neck (coat of arms of the Royal Prussia) and a rim inscription was placed. On the reverse - the Gdańsk coat of arms and the Otokowy inscription.

 Among the szelągs emitted during the reign of Stefan Batory, the Gdańsk siege shelves (1577) are definitely distinguished with the figure of Christ on the obverse and with the inscription: Defende Nos Christe (defend us Christ). Among the Gdańsk siege szelągs, which were basically pressed using a cylindrical mint machine, there are copies beaten with a traditional hammer method. They belong to the great rarity of numismatic, known in several copies. It distinguishes them from the stressed szelągs, a characteristic cross at the top of the reverse.
