Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dwudukat gdański - Władysław IV Waza (Gdańsk) 1647 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 Władysław IV Waza, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1632 until his death in 1648. During his reign, the Commonwealth faced numerous challenges, including wars with neighboring countries, internal conflicts, and a devastating Swedish invasion known as the Swedish Deluge. Despite these challenges, the Dwudukat gdański coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the resilience and determination of the Polish-Lithuanian people during this difficult period in their history.
