Interesting fact
The Szeląg koronny coin was issued during the reign of King Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Ujazdów) in 1661, and it features an image of the king on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was facing threats from neighboring countries and struggling with internal conflicts. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continued to be used for many years after its issuance.
