Mint: Opole - Oppeln - Uppeln - オポーレ - Opolí - Uopole - أوبولي - Ополе - Опо́ле - 奥波莱Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin featuring Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Opole) 1664 from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique feature called "split dies." This means that the dies used to mint the coin were cut in half and then reassembled, creating a distinctive "split" pattern on the coin's surface. This technique was used to prevent counterfeiting and increase the coin's security.
