Nicholas Copernicus explains to Felix Reich, Canon of Varmia some of the unclear details of his proposal for reform of Prussian currency. He regrets that the debates raised by the Prussian Estates on the subject of taxes for the King of Poland, Sigismund I, delays the matter of the reform of currency, which is harmful for all.
