Interesting fact
The Trojak gdański coin featuring Stanisław August Poniatowski (Gdańsk) 1766 from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique feature called "split dies." This means that the dies used to strike the coin were cut into two parts, allowing for greater precision and detail in the design. This innovation was a significant step forward in coin minting technology and paved the way for the creation of more intricate and detailed coins in the future.
