A rare penny from only a two-year issue.

The pennies in Bydgoszcz were minted during the entire reign of Sigismund III, but only the later ones, the most inferior in terms of metal, minted according to the last ordinance, are popular coins. The first pennies were minted before the first reform, in 1596-1599, and are among the very rare ones. The second issue did not occur until 14 years later, in 1613, at the mint opened by the king in 1608, but it lasted a very short time. Just a year later, it was superseded by a new, more profitable denomination - the halftone. They are the last portrait crown pennies of this king.

Pennies in 1613 are distinguished primarily by two methods of minting. The first were made using the traditional technique - hammer - as exemplified by this piece. Only for the later ones was a rolling mill used.

An interesting variety with a broad portrait of the ruler and the absence of the letter L from "Lithuania" in the titulature.
