Interesting fact
The Sigismund III Vasa coin was minted during a time of great change in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Sigismund III Vasa was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 until his death in 1632. During his reign, he implemented many reforms, including the creation of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the king's coat of arms on one side and the Polish eagle on the other, symbolizing the unity of the two nations under his rule.
