At the beginning of the reign of Jan Kazimierz there was an ambitious attempt at monetary reform (1650). A ban on the circulation of foreign money was introduced and the issuance of good own money began. It was then that copper shekels (wide) first appeared. The assumptions of the reform proved unrealistic so it was quickly withdrawn. Meanwhile, in Lithuania, which did not feel obliged to implement the 1650 reform (its representatives did not participate in the work of the commission), a parallel reform was introduced, based on other principles. In view of the Moscow invasion, the Vilnius mint worked only in 1652-1653. In turn, under the conditions of the Swedish Deluge, an important episode in the history of Polish minting was the launch of a makeshift crown mint in Lviv (1656-1657). The monetary relations of the Commonwealth tried to put in order the ordinance of 1658. The most notable for the period of the reign of Jan Kazimierz were the issues of subvalue money: small copper crown and Lithuanian shekels (so-called boratins) minted in the number of about 2 billion pieces, and zlotys (so-called tymfs), with an official value of 30 pennies - more than twice the actual silver content of the coin. Of the municipal mints in the period in question, there were mints in Gdansk, Elblag and Torun. John Casimir also exercised his minting rights as Prince of Opole and Racibórz (three-carat coins were minted at the Opole mint).
