Interesting fact

The Pattern Dukat gdański was a proposed coin design that was never actually minted, but it's still an interesting piece of history. The design features a portrait of Stanisław August Poniatowski, who was the last king of Poland before the country was partitioned and disappeared from the map for over a century. The coin was intended to be minted in 1765, but it was never produced due to political and economic turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time. Despite its lack of mintage, the Pattern Dukat gdański remains a popular collector's item and a fascinating piece of Polish history.
