Interesting fact
The Grosz pruski - Stefan Batory (Malbork) 1584 coin was minted during the reign of King Stefan Batory of Poland, who ruled from 1576 to 1586. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. It was made of silver and had a value of 1 grosz, which was a significant amount at the time. The coin was used throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was a union between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that lasted from 1569 to 1795. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Protestant Reformation was in full swing, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was facing threats from neighboring powers such as Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Commonwealth during this period.
