Interesting fact
The Półtorak / 3 Polker coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, minted in 1629 during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, was made of silver and features an interesting design element - the king's crown is depicted as a closed crown, which symbolizes the unity of the Polish and Lithuanian crowns under a single ruler. This design choice was a departure from the traditional open crown used in earlier coins and signifies the strengthened alliance between the two nations.
