The Crown Mint in Bydgoszcz operated in the years 1594—1686, leaving behind an exceptional testimony of the history of the city, the Republic of Poland and the former mint. What did the coins minted in the Bydgoszcz mint look like? How do you recognize their origin and how do you actually know that they originated here? What information about the era, rulers and functioning of the mint can be read from small discs of metal? The lecture will introduce the history of the crown mint in Bydgoszcz — from its commissioning in 1594 to the end of its activity in 1686.
