The Duchy of Siewierz was a Silesian duchy with its capital in Siewierz. Since 1443, after its acquisition by Archbishop Zbigniew Cardinal Oleśnicki for 6,000 silver groats, it was, the only ecclesiastical duchy in the region (ruled by a bishop of the Catholic Church). On many levels this tiny principality was almost a 'country within a country': it had its own laws, treasury and army. From 1448 to 1790 the Bishops of Kraków titled themselves "Dukes of Siewierz" Probably they don't have mintage rights as this privilege have only the king of Poland. The nephew of the Bishop Kajetan Sołtyk - Micheal Sołtyk, on the Bishop's death in the year 1800 ask engraver Szapecha Wappenstein to strike with two dies: a private silver Grosz dated 1761 and a gold Ducat dated 1762. There is also silver Ducat know as pattern.
