Interesting fact

The Półgrosz koronny was a coin used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the reign of King Sigismund III Vasa in the early 17th century. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. In fact, the coin was worth 1/2 grosz, which was a significant amount of money back then. The coin's design featured an image of King Sigismund III Vasa on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Półgrosz koronny is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
