Interesting fact
The Sigismund III Vasa Szeląg koronny coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1623-1625) is notable for its unique design. It features an image of King Sigismund III Vasa on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in Bydgoszcz, which was an important center for coin production during the Commonwealth era. Despite its small weight of 0.45g, the coin was an important medium of exchange during its time and remains a valuable collector's item today.
