Comment

Kopicki 1848

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 features an image of the king on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of gold and weighed 3.45 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. It's worth noting that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a powerful state in Eastern Europe during the 16th to 18th centuries, and its currency was widely used throughout the region. The Dukat koronny coin was an important part of the Commonwealth's economy and was used for large transactions and trade. I hope you find this information interesting!
