Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szeląg litewski / Schilling coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. This coin was used as a means of payment during his rule and features an image of the king on one side and the Lithuanian coat of arms on the other. Despite being made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, the coin was still relatively light, weighing only 0.9 grams. This fact highlights the economic and monetary systems in place during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th and 17th centuries.
