Interesting fact
The 1⁄24 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 their production was tightly controlled by the government to prevent counterfeiting and maintain their value. The fact that this coin was made of silver speaks to the importance and prestige of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time, as well as the value placed on the coinage that bore the image of its leaders.
