Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Szeląg gdański - Stefan Batory coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin was issued during the reign of King Stefan Batory, who was a strong advocate for the development of trade and commerce in the region. As a result, the coin was likely used extensively in trade and commerce, and its minting can be seen as a reflection of the growing economic importance of the region during this time period.
