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 1668. He was a member of the powerful Vasa dynasty, which had a significant impact on the political and cultural landscape of Eastern Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other, reflects the importance of the monarchy during this time period.
