This specimen was part of lot 22681 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2019), which sold for $780. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Germany|GERMANY]]. Octet of Silver Minors (8 Pieces), 1530-1861. All NGC Certified. 1) West Prussia 1530 Groschen, Sigismund I of [[Poland|POLAND]], NGC AU-50. ...A good mix of types that mostly would have circulated in Silesia and western POLAND." The kingdom of Poland came under the rule of the king of Sweden, Sigismund III, in 1587. He converted to Roman Catholicism to accept the Polish crown, which caused the Swedish diet to depose him. He invaded Sweden in an attempt to reclaim his throne but was unsuccessful. The expenses of the war damaged and weakened the Polish monarchy, but the main source of Polish weakness was the greed and selfishness of the Polish nobility.

Albert was the first European ruler to establish Protestantism as the official state religion of his lands. He proved instrumental in the political spread of Protestantism in its early stage, ruling the Prussian lands for nearly six decades (1510–1568)."
