Interesting fact
The Grosz litewski coin , which features Jan II Kazimierz Waza, was minted in Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania) in 1652 during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Commonwealth was facing threats from neighboring countries, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable currency to finance the military and other state expenses. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design and craftsmanship are still admired today for their beauty and historical significance.
