Royal (Polish) Prussia coins catalog with values

 

Royal Prussia (Province of Polish kingdom) (1466-1569)

In 1454, the Prussian Confederation, created by citizens of important coastal cities (Gdansk, Torun, Königsberg, Elbing, etc.) to counter the Teutonic Order, swore allegiance to the Polish king. The so-called “War of the Cities” began, which ended 13 years later in 1466 with the Second Peace of Torun. According to the agreement, the Teutonic Order ceded to the Polish king the rights to the western part of Prussia with its capital in Poznan.

The aristocracy of Royal Prussia received the same rights as the Polish gentry. At the same time, decisions of the Polish government concerning the new province had to be approved by the Prussian Council, and Gdansk and Torun retained the right to mint coins.

In 1569, the Union of Lublin was signed and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was created. Royal Prussia became part of the Kingdom of Poland and lost its autonomy.
