Interesting fact

The Trojak gdański was a silver coin minted in the city of Gdańsk during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569-1795). It was first introduced in 1582 during the reign of King Stefan Batory and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Commonwealth. The coin's design featured the image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Gdańsk on the other. The Trojak gdański was an important part of the Polish-Lithuanian monetary system and was used for everyday transactions. It was also used as a means of payment for goods and services, and its value was equivalent to 30 groszy, which was a significant amount at the time. Despite its historical significance, the Trojak gdański is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, and its value has increased significantly over time.
