Notes
English: Enamelled effigy of King Sigismund Augustus as a Biblical monarch in ancient Roman costume. Gold background plaque with Polish and Lithuanian emblems, emblem of the city of Kraków and monogram of King Stanisław Augustus was added in the 18th century. Possibly a gift of the city of Kraków to the last Polish monarch.
