Comment
Iger V.08.1Interesting fact
The Sigismund III Vasa coin, minted in 1608, was the first coin to feature the image of a Polish king since the reign of King Stefan Batory in the late 16th century. This was a significant departure from the standard design of coins in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which typically featured the coat of arms of the Commonwealth or the image of a saint. The inclusion of the king's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of the growing power and influence of the Polish monarchy during this period.
