Red złoty

A Polish ducat, or red złoty, minted in 1621 during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self nominated at 07:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC).

  • I'm making some copy edits and left you a question in the edit summaries. I think you should removed the dates from the book templates and leave only the year, and reference 5's title needs tweaking--I think the name of the publication is part of the title.

  • OK, but now the burden is the "1320s" in the hook: I don't see that the article says that those coins (before 1526, I suppose) were called red zloty. If I read this correctly it seems that they were introduced as part of a monetary reform begun in the 1320s--is that correct? If so, the article should identify our coin more clearly in its early stages. Drmies (talk) 14:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
The source does call these coins red zloty: Dukat Łokietka, przedstawiony tu w rysunku, jest zatem pierwszym "czerwonym złotym" polskim. - "The Ducat of Lokietek (Wladyslaw), shown in the illustration, is then the first Polish "red zloty"". I guess it's in quotation marks though. I do think a more involved hook would be good.Volunteer Marek 18:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
