Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denar gdański - Interregnum (Gdańsk) 1573 coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin was issued during the Interregnum, a period of political instability that lasted from 1572 to 1573, when the Commonwealth was ruled by a series of temporary administrators rather than a single monarch. Despite this turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it.
