One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler / Ćwierćgulden coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is that it was minted during the reign of August II Mocny (also known as Augustus II the Strong), who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1697 to 1706, and again from 1709 to 1733. August II was a prominent figure in European politics and was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin itself is made of silver and features an image of August II on one side, with the other side bearing the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
