Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szeląg gdański coin is that it was minted during the reign of August III Sas, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1733 to 1763. The coin was minted in Gdańsk, which was an important city in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that period.
