Interesting fact
The Sigismund III Vasa coin, minted in 1598, was the first coin to feature the image of a Polish king. It was a significant departure from the previous coins of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which had typically featured the coat of arms of the Commonwealth or other symbols. The introduction of the king's image on the coin was a nod to the growing power and influence of the Polish monarchy at the time.
