Interesting fact
The Talar toruński was a silver coin minted in the city of Toruń during the reign of King Sigismund III Vasa of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "bullet casting," where molten silver was poured into a bullet-shaped mold to create the coin's distinctive shape. This technique was used to create a large number of coins quickly and efficiently, making the Talar toruński a common sight in the Commonwealth's economy during the early 17th century.
