Interesting fact
The Talar koronny - Stefan Batory (Olkusz) 1581 coin from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Stefan Batory, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Commonwealth's economy. One of his initiatives was to introduce a new currency, the talar, which replaced the earlier currency, the grosz. The Talar koronny was a silver coin that was equivalent to 30 groszy and featured an image of the king on one side and the Polish eagle on the other. It was minted in Olkusz, a city in southern Poland, and was used throughout the Commonwealth. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and its design and history make it an interesting piece of Polish history.
