Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Swedish occupation of Poland in the 17th century, specifically in the city of Toruń. The coin features the image of King Charles X Gustav of Sweden, who ruled from 1654 to 1660. The coin's design and the fact that it was minted in a Polish city during a period of foreign occupation make it a unique and interesting piece of history.
