Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Groats - Sigismund II Augustus (Early bust) 1546-1556 coin from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is that it features a unique blend of both Lithuanian and Polish influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the image of Sigismund II Augustus, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, while the reverse side features the Lithuanian coat of arms, which includes a knight on horseback holding a shield with the Lithuanian emblem. This blending of designs reflects the close political and cultural ties between the two nations during this time period.
