Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Swedish occupation of Poland in the 17th century, specifically in the city of Elbing, which is now part of modern-day Poland. Despite being under Swedish rule, the coin still features the Polish king, Karol X Gustaw, on one side and the Polish eagle on the other. This highlights the complex history of the region and the blending of cultures that occurred during this time period.
