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 coin minted during a foreign occupation, and its existence serves as a reminder of the complex history of the region.
