Interesting fact
The Półtorak / 3 Polker coin from 1615 features an image of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania at the time. The coin was minted in Kraków, which was the capital city of Poland during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin's design includes the king's name and title in Latin, as well as the coat of arms of Poland and Lithuania. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used in the region, and it reflected the growing wealth and influence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time.
