Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Szeląg toruński coin is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bishops's mitre on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that the coin was minted in the city of Toruń, which was an important center of Catholicism in Poland at the time.
