In view of the unrealistic assumptions of the 1676 minting ordinance, the following year the extraordinary parliament decided to return to the 1658 ordinance, from the time of Jan Kazimierz. In 1677 the Bydgoszcz mint was launched, and two years later the Kraków mint. Crown coins were minted there - trojaks, sixpences, orts, thalers, ducats and two-ducats. The crown minting during the reign of Jan Sobieski was burdened by outstanding liabilities to Titus Livius Boratini, dating back to the time of Jan Kazimierz. In order to satisfy the claims of the minting entrepreneur, the lease of the mints in Bydgoszcz and later in Cracow was transferred to him. After Boratini's death (1682), the lease passed to his heirs (until 1684). For this reason, some of the crown coins bear the initials "TLB" placed on coins even after Boratini's death. Of the city mints, only the Danzig mint worked during the period in question, minting shekels, thalers and gold coins.
The sixpence was the most popular denomination during the time of Jan Sobieski. Coins worth 6 pennies were minted on the basis of Jan Kazimierz's ordinance of 1658. These were coins minted from VI-gold silver. Their average weight was 3.48 g, and their pure silver content was 1.305 g. The production of sixpences was handled by two mints - Bydgoszcz and Cracow. Until 1683, the Leliwa coat of arms of the Great Treasurer of the Crown Jan Andrzej Morsztyn was placed on the sixpacks, while from 1683 - the Jelita coat of arms of the Great Treasurer Marcin Zamoyski.
