Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Swedish occupation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, specifically in the city of Elbing (now Elbląg, Poland). The coin features Gustaw II Adolf, the King of Sweden, on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare example of a Swedish-minted coin used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during this time period.
