Check out all my other items by clicking on my profile Sigismund III Vasa (1566-1632) was a significant historical figure who served as both King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. He was the first monarch from the House of Vasa to rule Poland, and his reign marked a period of notable territorial expansion. His decision to relocate the capital from Kraków to Warsaw was a pivotal moment in Polish history. Sigismund was also King of Sweden and Grand Duke of Finland from 1592 to 1599. Despite his efforts to unify Poland and Sweden under a Catholic kingdom, he faced strong opposition in Protestant Sweden, leading to his eventual deposition in 1599. Nevertheless, his reign in Poland was characterized by prosperity and significant achievements in arts and architecture. A devout Catholic, Sigismund enforced Roman Catholicism across his territories and played a crucial role in the Counter-Reformation. His legacy includes military victories and contributions to Polish culture, although his rule was also marked by religious conflicts and political intrigues. Today, he is commemorated by Sigismund’s Column in Warsaw, a prominent landmark and the first secular monument of its kind in modern history. All coins are guaranteed to be authentic.
