Interesting fact

The Jan III Sobieski (Bydgoszcz) 1684 coin was minted during the reign of King Jan III Sobieski, who was known for his military victories, particularly the Battle of Vienna in 1683, which halted the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe. The coin's design features an image of the king on horseback, with the inscription "Jan III Sobieski" on the obverse, and the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on the reverse. The coin was minted in Bydgoszcz, which was an important center for coin production during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth era.
