Interesting fact

The Dwutalar gdański 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 used as a means of payment during his reign, and its design features the king's name and title on one side, and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. It's interesting to note that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a significant power in Eastern Europe during this time period, and its currency was widely used in trade and commerce. The Dwutalar gdański coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Poland and Lithuania.
