Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szeląg litewski - Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Oliwa) 1663 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "I.K." (for Ioannes Casimirus, the Latinized name of John II Casimir) on the reverse side, which was a personal mark of the king and a symbol of his authority.
