Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trojak / 3 Grosze coin with the Sigismund III Vasa image is that it was made 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 worked to centralize power and create a more cohesive government, which led to the creation of the Commonwealth's first legislative body, the Sejm. This coin was minted during a time of political and social upheaval, and it is a testament to the enduring power of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
