Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dukat gdański - Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki (Gdańsk) 1672-1673 coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and economic significance for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin features an image of Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, a prominent nobleman and military leader, and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Commonwealth. Despite being made of gold, the coin was relatively small in weight, weighing only 3.5 grams. This combination of gold content and small size made it a highly portable and practical form of currency for everyday transactions.
