Interesting fact

The Sigismund III Vasa coin was minted during a time of great change in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was the first coin to feature the image of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 until his death in 1632. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity of the two nations under one ruler.
