Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Groszy coin from the Duchy of Warsaw is that it features an image of Frederick Augustus I, also known as Frederick Augustus III of Saxony, who was the ruler of the Duchy of Warsaw from 1807 until his death in 1827. Despite being a relatively small coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Additionally, the coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Polish States, which adds to its historical significance and cultural value.
