Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier elbląski - Sigismund I the Old (Elbląg) 1539-1545 (1506-1548) from Kingdom of Poland made of Silver weighing 0.3 g is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund I the Old, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1506 until his death in 1548. This coin was minted in the city of Elbląg, which was an important center of trade and commerce during that time. The coin's design features the image of Sigismund I on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. It was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that era. Despite its small weight of 0.3 grams, this coin was an important part of the economy of the Kingdom of Poland during the 16th century.
