Interesting fact
The Dwudukat koronny coin featuring Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Wschowa) 1650 from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is an exciting numismatic find. One intriguing fact about this gold coin is its unusual weight of 6.83 grams, which differs from the standard weight of a ducat, typically around 3.4 grams. This anomaly suggests that the coin may have been altered or tampered with, perhaps to deceive people into believing it was a more valuable coin. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a fascinating example of numismatic oddities.
