Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trojak / 3 Grosze coin is that it features the image of King Sigismund III Vasa, who was the last king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and ruled from 1587 to 1632. He was a member of the powerful Vasa dynasty and was known for his efforts to strengthen the Commonwealth and promote Catholicism. The coin's design includes the Lewart and Radwan shields, which were symbols of the king's royal lineage and authority.
