Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ośmiodukat gdański - Władysław IV Waza (Gdańsk) 1644 coin is that it features a unique blend of Polish and Lithuanian elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Polish king, Władysław IV Waza, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the city of Gdańsk, which was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time.
