Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Półtorak / 3 Polker coin is that it was minted during the reign of John II Casimir Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1648 to 1668. He was a member of the powerful Vasa dynasty, which had a significant impact on the history of Poland and Lithuania. The coin's design, which features the king's name and title, as well as the coat of arms of Poland and Lithuania, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
