Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szeląg toruński coin is that it was minted during the reign of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1648 to 1668. He was known for his efforts to strengthen the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and his support for the arts and culture. The coin itself is made of billon, a type of alloy that contains a small amount of silver, and weighs 0.72 grams. It is a standard circulation coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and features an image of Jan II Kazimierz Waza on one side and the coat of arms of Toruń on the other.
