Interesting fact

The Półtorak / 3 Polker coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth features an image of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1657 in Poznań, which was a significant center of trade and commerce at the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a symbol of the country's wealth and power. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Półtorak / 3 Polker is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted.
