Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Szóstak toruński - August III Sas (Toruń) 1762-1763 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The coin was minted in 1762-1763, just a few years before the First Partition of Poland in 1772, which marked the beginning of the end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's independence. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
