Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szeląg elbląski coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "MK" (for Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki) placed above the king's name, which was a personal touch added by the mintmaster, Jakub Mikołajewicz, to distinguish it from other coins issued during the same period.
