Interesting fact
The Jan II Kazimierz Waza (Poznań) 1654 coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The country was facing political instability, military conflicts, and economic challenges, which led to a shortage of silver and other precious metals. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of silver, which was a significant achievement given the scarcity of the metal at the time. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who minted the coin, as well as the importance of the coinage system in the economy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
