Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pięciodukat gdański - Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Gdańsk) 1656 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 1668. 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 Pięciodukat gdański coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the resilience and determination of the Polish-Lithuanian people during this difficult period in their history.
