Interesting fact

The Dwudukat koronny coin was minted during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza of Poland, who ruled from 1648 to 1668. This 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 6.84 grams of gold, which is equivalent to about $250 in today's money! That's a pretty valuable coin, especially considering its age and historical significance.
