Interesting fact
The Talar koronny - Stefan Batory (Olkusz) 1580 coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth features an image of King Stefan Batory on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. It was made of silver and weighed 28.36 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Poland. King Stefan Batory, who ruled from 1576 to 1586, was a strong advocate for the Protestant Reformation and sought to modernize the Polish economy and military. The coin's design reflects this period of transformation, with its depiction of the king in a modern, Western-style crown and the use of the Polish coat of arms on the reverse side. Despite the changes taking place during this time, the Talar koronny - Stefan Batory (Olkusz) 1580 coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
