Interesting fact

The Półtalar toruński was a silver coin minted in the city of Toruń during the reign of King Sigismund III Vasa of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it features a unique design element - a stylized image of a bison, which was a symbol of the city of Toruń. The bison was depicted on the reverse side of the coin, along with the coat of arms of the city and the year of minting. This design element sets the Półtalar toruński apart from other coins minted during the same period and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
