Interesting fact
The Talar koronny coin was minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during that time, and it was made of silver, weighing 29.78 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the image of Sigismund III Vasa on one side, and the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on the other. The coat of arms features a white eagle on a red background, which is still used as the national emblem of Poland today. Overall, this coin is a piece of history that provides a glimpse into the economic and political systems of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the early 17th century.
