Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats (Toruń under siege) 1629 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Poland. The coin was issued to commemorate the siege of Toruń, which was a key event in the Polish-Swedish War (1626-1629). Despite the challenges of war, the minting of this coin shows the resilience and determination of the people of Toruń to preserve their culture and traditions.
