Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trojak / 3 Grosze coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. He was a member of the powerful Vasa dynasty, which played a significant role in Polish and Lithuanian history. The coin's design features the Lewart shield, which was a symbol of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity.
