Interesting fact
The Półtalar toruński - Władysław IV Waza (Toruń) 1640-1642 coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Władysław IV Waza, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1632 until his death in 1648. During his reign, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was facing numerous challenges, including conflicts with neighboring countries, religious tensions, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the Półtalar toruński being one of the most widely used coins in circulation. It was made of silver and featured an image of Władysław IV Waza on one side and the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on the other. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history.
