Interesting fact
The Półtalar gdański was a coin used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 17th century, and it was equivalent to half of a Polish talar. The coin , which features Jan II Kazimierz Waza, was issued in 1649-1650 and was made of silver. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was facing military conflicts and political instability. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a popular form of currency and was widely used throughout the region.
