This was to celebrate the chronicler’s 600th birthday. This event was particularly stimulating for historians and regionalists from Wieluń, a town near which the Długosz family estate was located. What is more, Jan Długosz senior, the father of the chronicler, fought in the Battle of Grunwald in the Wieluń unit. Furthermore, the parents of the chronicler are buried in the crypt of the Wieluń collegiate church. In 2015, Wieluń hosted exhibitions, an academic conference and a competition. A themed installation was constructed near the remnants of the Wieluń parish church. The organizers of the events also commemorated the Year of Jan Długosz by minting a commemorative medal: “The Year of Jan Długosz in the Wieluń Region (2015)”. The article describes the medal and the circumstances surrounding its creation in detail.}, doi = {10.4467/2391-890XPAH.16.017.15194}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przeglad-archiwalno-historyczny/article/medal-pamiatkowy-rok-dlugoszowski-na-ziemi-wielunskiej-2015} }
