Interesting fact
The Dwugrosz coin featuring Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Bydgoszcz) 1651 from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins in Europe to use a new technology called "milled" or "machine-struck" coinage. This technology allowed for more precise and consistent production of coins, which helped to reduce counterfeiting and increase the overall quality of the coins. This innovation was a significant step forward in the history of coinage and paved the way for the modern coins that we use today.
