Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trojak / 3 Grosze coin is that it was issued 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 arms, which were used by Sigismund III, and the crossed hooks symbolize his dual role as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania.
