The Dwudukat koronny coin was minted during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1661. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. In fact, the coin was made of 90% gold, which is quite high compared to modern-day coins. This coin was also relatively small, weighing only 6.71 grams, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
