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 eagle on the other. It was minted in 1658 in Poznań and is made of silver. What's interesting about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Poland, known as the "Swedish Deluge," when the country was invaded by Sweden and much of its territory was occupied. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the Polish king and the national emblem, symbolizing the country's resilience and determination to maintain its independence.
