Interesting fact
The 1⁄12 Talara coin featuring Ksawery as Polish Prince (Drezno) 1764-1768 from Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. In fact, silver coins were often used as a symbol of wealth and power, and were often used to pay for important expenses, such as military salaries and government debts. The use of silver in coins also helped to establish the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth as a major economic power in Europe during this time period.
