Interesting fact
The Sigismund III Vasa coin, minted in 1617, was the first coin to feature the image of a Polish king since the reign of King Stefan Batory in the late 16th century. This coin was a significant departure from the standard design of coins in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which typically featured the coat of arms of the Commonwealth or the image of the Virgin Mary. The inclusion of the king's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of the growing power and influence of the Polish monarchy during this period.
