Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 80 Dukatów coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. He was a member of the powerful Vasa dynasty, which ruled Poland and Lithuania for over a century. The coin's design features an image of Sigismund III on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the unity between Poland and Lithuania under his rule.
