Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Półdukat koronny - Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Kraków) ND (1653-1662) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin was issued during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza, who ruled from 1648 to 1662. During his reign, the Commonwealth faced numerous challenges, including wars with neighboring countries, internal conflicts, and a devastating Swedish invasion known as the "Swedish Deluge." Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the resilience and determination of the Polish-Lithuanian people.
