Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Półtalar - Sigismund II Augustus (Wilno mint - countermarked) 1564 coin is that it features a unique countermark, which is a small stamp or marking that was added to the coin after it was minted. The countermark on this coin is a small letter "W" or "V" that was added to the reverse side of the coin, indicating that it was minted at the Wilno mint in Lithuania. This countermark was used to verify the authenticity of the coin and to distinguish it from other coins that were minted in other locations.
