Interesting fact
The Półtorak / 3 Polker coin featuring Sigismund III Vasa (Bydgoszcz) 1618 was a significant issue during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth era. It was the first coin to feature the image of a king since the reign of King Sigismund II Augustus, who ruled from 1548 to 1572. This coin marked a departure from the traditional design of Polish coins, which typically featured the Polish eagle or other national symbols. Instead, it featured a portrait of King Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. This change in design was a nod to the increasing influence of European culture and the growing importance of the monarchy in Polish society.
