Interesting fact
The Dukat koronny coin was minted during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza of Poland, who ruled from 1648 to 1668. The coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What's interesting is that the coin was made of gold, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. In fact, the coin was worth a significant amount of money, with its value equivalent to about 100 times the average daily wage of a skilled craftsman during that time period. This highlights the coin's importance and value, both as a means of exchange and as a symbol of wealth and power.
