The Szeląg elbląski was a silver coin minted in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the reign of King Sigismund III Vasa in the early 17th century. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a stylized image of a bison, which was a symbol of the city of Elbląg, where the coin was minted. This bison design was used on several other coins minted during Sigismund III's reign, but the Szeląg elbląski is particularly notable for its detailed and intricate depiction of the animal.
