Interesting fact
The Dwutalar gdański was a coin used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 17th century, and it was equivalent to two Polish talars. The coin , which features Władysław IV Waza, was issued in 1639 and is made of silver, weighing 56 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The country was experiencing significant inflation, and the value of the currency was fluctuating rapidly. Despite these challenges, the Dwutalar gdański remained a widely used coin throughout the 17th century, and it's still a valuable collector's item today.
