Interesting fact
The Półtalar koronny coin was minted during the reign of Stefan Batory, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1576 to 1586. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign and was made of silver. What's interesting is that the coin features an image of King Stefan Batory on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other, which was a unique design for coins during that time period. Additionally, the coin's minting was overseen by the Olkusz mint, which was a prominent minting facility in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 16th century.
