Comment
Kopicki 8241Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 1 Thaler (Toruń under siege) 1629 from City of Toruń (Polish States) made of Silver weighing 28.84 g is that it was minted during the Swedish siege of Toruń in 1629, which lasted for 14 months. The coin was used as a means of payment for the soldiers and civilians during the siege, and it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Polish king Sigismund III Vasa on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the history of Poland and the city of Toruń during a time of conflict.
