The coin Jadwiga of Anjou

The Mint of Poland presents a subsequent commemorative coin from the series “Treasures of King Stanisław August” issued by the National Bank of Poland. This beautiful gold token is devoted to Jadwiga of Anjou, the Queen of Poland.

Jadwiga of Anjou, the daughter of King Louis I of Hungary, reigned Poland in the years 1384-1399 as a spouse of Władysław II Jagiełło, the Grand Duke of Lithuania. Prepared to take the throne from early childhood, she was a very enlightened monarch. Despite her young age, the Queen earned the prestige and reputation for carefully conducted domestic and foreign policy. Jadwiga of Anjou was well-known for her charity work and deep piety. In 1997 she was canonized; since then her memory is held in due reverence
