During the reign of Władysław IV, there was a ban on minting small coins, passed under his predecessor. It included both state and city mints. Therefore, the crown mints in Bydgoszcz, and then from 1644 in Kraków, minted only half-thalers, thalers, ducats and their multiples. The mint production of Prussian cities - Gdańsk, Toruń and Elbląg - looked similar. The Lithuanian Mint was not working at that time. The exception was the trial Portuguese coin minted in 1640. A trial series of triples, sixes and orts was also prepared by the Bydgoszcz mint in 1635. In addition to the above-mentioned issues, Władysław Vasa's coinage also includes kopecks bd from the times when Prince Władysław was elected Tsar of Moscow and triple coins Duchy of Opole-Racibórz from 1647.
