After 1555, the mint’s leaseholder, Feliks, significantly curtailed the issuance of groszy, virtually bringing it to a halt, until 1559, when he received permission to lower the coinage standard. This issue marked the end of grosz minting at the Lithuanian standard in Vilnius during the reign of Sigismund II Augustus.
