Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grosz koronny coin is that it 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 Kraków, which was the capital city of Poland at the time, and it features an image of the king on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that contains .359 silver, and it weighs 1.55 grams. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the early 17th century.
