Interesting fact
The Talar coin was minted during the reign of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski, who was the last king of Poland before the country was partitioned and ceased to exist as an independent state. The coin features a portrait of Prince Ksawery, who was a prominent figure in Polish history and a member of the royal family. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and influence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was a significant political and economic force in Eastern Europe at the time. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and it can be found in many coin collections and museums around the world.
