    In 1526, the city of Swidnica in modern Poland was part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, of which Louis II of Hungary was king. With Louis’s death at the Battle of Mohacs on 29 August of that same year, Bohemia and Swidnica passed to his brother-in-law the Hapsburg Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I. This coin therefore had to have been struck prior to the calamity of Mohacs and before it passed from Hungarian into Austrian hands.
