Interesting fact
The 1763 Fryderyk Christian Talar coin was minted during a time of great change in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. That year, the Commonwealth's government, known as the Sejm, passed a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the country's economy and military. These reforms, known as the "Reform of 1763," included the introduction of a new currency, the Talar, which replaced the old currency, the Guldengroschen. The Talar was divided into 12 smaller units, called Fenigs, and featured a portrait of Fryderyk Christian, the Polish Prince, on one side and the Polish-Lithuanian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in the city of Lipsk, which is now part of modern-day Belarus.
