Interesting fact

The Talar coin was minted during the reign of King Jan III Sobieski, who was a prominent figure in Polish history. He was known for his military victories, particularly the Battle of Vienna in 1683, which halted the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe. The coin's design likely reflects the king's influence and importance during that time.
