Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dwutalar koronny - Sigismund III Vasa (Bydgoszcz) 1617 coin is that it features a unique design element - a crowned eagle on the reverse side, which symbolizes the union between Poland and Lithuania. This design was introduced during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. The coin's design was meant to represent the strength and unity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was a powerful state in Eastern Europe during that time.
