Interesting fact
The Trojak koronny was a coin used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 16th century, and the Stefan Batory (Olkusz) 1582 edition was one of the most famous and valuable coins of its time. It was made of silver (.844) and weighed 2.37 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was widely used for trade and commerce, and its value was equivalent to three Polish koronys, hence its name "Trojak koronny" which means "three koronys" in Polish.
