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 Poland and Lithuania during that time. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the Polish eagle on the other, reflects the monarch's influence and power during this period.
