Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szóstak litewski / 6 Groschens - Stephen Báthory (Wilno) 1581 coin is that it was minted during the reign of Stephen Báthory, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1575 to 1586. He was known for his military campaigns against the Russian Empire and his efforts to strengthen the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin's design, which features an image of Báthory on one side and the Polish eagle on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
