Interesting fact
The Dwudukat koronny coin was minted during the reign of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1648 to 1668. This coin was minted in Krakow in 1659 and was made of gold. It's interesting to note that the coin features an image of the king on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other, which was a common design element for coins during this time period. Additionally, the coin's name "Dwudukat" refers to its value, which was equivalent to two Polish koronys, a korony being a unit of currency used in Poland at the time.
