Interesting fact
The Czterotalar gdański was a silver coin minted in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza in the 17th century. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique method called "szelągowanie," which involved cutting the coin into a specific shape and weight to create a unique currency that was easily recognizable and difficult to counterfeit. This method was used to combat the widespread counterfeiting of coins that was prevalent at the time.
