The 2016 20 złoty silver collector coin "Dukat Zygmunta Starego" is a unique numismatic item that combines the richness of Polish historical heritage with high-quality craftsmanship. Issued by the National Bank of Poland as part of the "History of Polish Coins" series, it is an excellent choice for investors looking for valuable and unique items for their collections.

The legacy of Renaissance Poland in silver

This coin commemorates the introduction of the modern monetary system by Sigismund I the Old, King of Poland from 1506 to 1548. In 1529, during his reign, the first gold ducat was minted, replacing the medieval half-groschen. The new monetary system was characterized by realistic images of rulers and the inclusion of the date of issue on the coins. The ducat of Sigismund the Old from 1529 depicts the king in armor and a crown, symbolizing the power and stability of the state at that time.

Unique aesthetic and historical value

The obverse of the coin features a stylized image of Sigismund the Old's ducat with a bust of the king and the Latin inscription "Zygmunt I król Polski" (Sigismund I, King of Poland). The background of the obverse is decorated with a motif of the interior of the dome of Sigismund's Chapel, referring to Renaissance architecture.

The reverse of the coin depicts a five-field coat of arms with the White Eagle, Pogoń, the Ruthenian Lion, the Prussian Eagle, and the Habsburg coat of arms, commemorating the king's mother, Elizabeth of Austria. Along the rim is the inscription "DUKAT ZYGMUNTA STAREGO" (Ducat of Sigismund the Old), and the background is decorated with a stylized White Eagle under a crown, taken from a 16th-century woodcut.

Investing in value and history

The "Dukat Zygmunta Starego" coin is not only a collector's item, but also an attractive form of investment. Made of high-grade silver, with a limited mintage, it is a stable capital investment. Its numismatic value, resulting from its historical significance and artistic design, may increase over time, making it a valuable addition to any investment portfolio.

For collectors and investors looking for unique and valuable items, the "Dukat Zygmunta Starego" offers a combination of aesthetics, history, and potential for growth in value.
