Comment
Górecki P.54.1.aInteresting fact
The Półtorak / 3 Polker coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, minted in 1654 during the reign of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, was made of silver and features an unusual design. On one side, it depicts the king on horseback, while on the other side, it shows the coat of arms of Poland and Lithuania. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region, with the Swedish Deluge, a series of wars between Poland and Sweden, taking place just a few years prior. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
