Interesting fact
The Siege of Zamość coin, minted in 1813, was issued during a time of great turmoil in Poland. The country was invaded by Napoleon's army in 1807, and the following years saw a series of uprisings and conflicts. Despite this, the city of Zamość managed to maintain its independence and sovereignty, which is reflected in the coin's design. The coin features an image of the city's coat of arms, which includes a depiction of a fortified wall and towers, symbolizing the city's strength and resilience during this time.
