Interesting fact
The Trojak gdański coin featuring Stanisław August Poniatowski (Gdańsk) 1765 from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique feature called "proofing" to prevent counterfeiting. Proofing involves striking the coin multiple times to create a highly detailed and precise image, making it difficult for counterfeiters to replicate. This innovative technique was first introduced in Poland in the mid-18th century and became a standard practice in coin minting around the world.
