Summary/Abstract: The author describes numismatic studies on the activity of Vladislaus II of Opole in Halicz Russia in detail. O the basis of the sources, she made an attempt to define the nature of his ruling in this area. She put forward a hypothesis that despite ruling in Halicz Russia on behalf of Louis I of Hungary and, subsequently, queen Mary, he made himself an independent king. Without a doubt, it was thanks to titles, a majestic seal he used to use, as well as the edition of coins struck under his seal. The author showed that latest research done by Ukrainian and Polish numismatics, although they did not agree as to the opinion they held, proves that it is possible to distinguish a few types of silver grosz and copper denar when the duke of Opole ruled in Russia.
