Interesting fact
The Szeląg koronny was the first coin to feature the image of a Polish king, Sigismund III Vasa, who ruled from 1601 to 1623. This coin was a significant departure from previous Polish coins, which had typically featured the Polish eagle or other symbols. The inclusion of the king's image was a nod to the growing power and influence of the Polish monarchy during this time period.
