Interesting fact
The Pattern Trojak koronny was a proposed coinage system introduced by Stanisław August Poniatowski, the last king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in 1766. The coin was designed to replace the existing coinage system, which was devalued and no longer trusted by the public. The new coin was meant to be made of copper, and it featured a unique design that included a crown on one side and the king's monogram on the other. However, the project was ultimately abandoned due to opposition from the Polish nobility, who saw it as an attempt by the king to centralize power and undermine their authority. Despite its failure, the Pattern Trojak koronny remains an interesting historical footnote and a testament to the complex political and economic dynamics of the time.
