Interesting fact

The Dwutalar koronny coin was minted during the reign of Stefan Batory, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1575 to 1586. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign and was made of silver, weighing 57.09 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the king's name and title in both Polish and Lithuanian, reflecting the dual nature of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time.
