Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats (Portugał koronny) coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Poland and Lithuania on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Commonwealth at the time.
