Interesting fact

The Grosz koronny coin was issued during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. The coin was minted in Bydgoszcz, which was an important city in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.63 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin of its time. It's worth noting that the design of the coin features an image of Sigismund III Vasa on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms features a white eagle on a red background, which is still the national symbol of Poland today. Overall, the Grosz koronny coin is an interesting piece of history that provides a glimpse into the economic and political systems of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
