Interesting fact

The Szeląg litewski coin , which features Jan II Kazimierz Waza, is a rare example of a coin that was issued by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during a time of great turmoil. The coin was minted in 1665, just a few years after the Swedish Deluge, a series of conflicts between the Commonwealth and Sweden that left the country devastated. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still features a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and artistic traditions of the region.
