A very interesting issue about which Zhukovsky wrote: "Its obverse is typical of the Bydgoszcz mint, while the reverse was made by a novice engraver. This is indicated by clumsy workmanship, a mistake such as the lack of a VI denomination marking, an unusual crown and the appearance of the numerals 1, 6, 0. Perhaps this sixpence was a demonstration of the skills of a new engraver at the Cracow mint, where people were being sought for work?".
Obverse: royal bust in antique style, to the right, in the rim legend:
[]-III D-G REX POL-M-D-L-R-P-;
Reverse: crowned three-field escutcheon, with the coats of arms of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Sobieski family coat of arms - Janina; below the escutcheon, the date 16-[]; in the rim, the legend punctuated by the coat of arms:
[]EG POLONIAE;
