Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dwudukat gdanski / 2 Ducats - Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Gdańsk) 1655-1658 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin was issued during the reign of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1648 to 1668. During his reign, the Commonwealth faced numerous challenges, including wars with neighboring countries, internal conflicts, and a devastating Swedish invasion known as the Deluge. Despite these challenges, the Dwudukat gdanski coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the resilience and determination of the Polish-Lithuanian people during this difficult period.
