<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 5164649, member: 89314&quot;]The Renaissance had reached Poland by 1529. At that time Poland ruled West Prussia, while East Prussia was the independent Duchy of Prussia (former territories of the Teutonic Knights before they were secularized in 1525) under Polish suzerainty.&nbsp; King Sigismund&#039;s title on the obverse of this coin is SIGIS*I*REX*PO*DO*TOC(t)I(us)*PRVS (lord of all Prussias). The reverse bears the Prussian eagle l. holding a sword with the legend GROSS*COMV*TERR*PRVSS (groschen common to all Prussian territory).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>POLAND&nbsp; Sigismund I The Old&nbsp; (1506-48)&nbsp;&nbsp; Crown Issue for Prussia&nbsp; Groschen 1529&nbsp; Thorn mint</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1210323[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1210324[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
