Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1648 to 1667. He was a member of the powerful Vasa dynasty, which had a significant impact on the political and cultural landscape of Eastern Europe during that time. The coin's design, featuring the king's image and the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
