Interesting fact
The Grosz koronny coin was issued during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza (also known as John II Casimir Vasa) of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 17th century. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "szelągowanie," which involved stamping the coin's design onto a flat piece of metal using a special tool called a "szeląg." This technique was used to create the coin's intricate details and patterns, and it was a distinct feature of Polish coinage during this time period.
