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 made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin during its time. What's interesting about this coin is that it was issued during a period of great turmoil in Poland's history. At the time, the country was facing invasions from neighboring powers and was struggling with internal conflicts, yet despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency. This speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Polish people during difficult times.
