Mennica w Bydgoszczy, Historic mint on Mill Island, Bydgoszcz, Poland
The former mint complex consisted of several buildings on Mill Island, utilizing water power from the Brda River for metal processing operations.
Founded in 1594 by royal privilege from Sigismund III Vasa, the mint operated until 1688 and became the sole functioning mint in the Polish Crown.
German, Italian, and Dutch entrepreneurs, including Hermann Rüdiger and Jacob Jacobson van Emden, contributed their expertise to the mint's development.
The European Money Centre exhibition displays original coins, tools, and treasury items discovered during archaeological excavations on Mill Island.
In 1621, the mint produced a 350-gram gold ducat, recognized as one of the most substantial coins in European monetary history.
