Interesting fact
The Trojak litewski / 3 Groschens coin featuring Stephen Báthory (Wilno; Value below bust) 1580-1581 from Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a union between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and it was during this time that the country was facing challenges from neighboring powers, including the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Despite these challenges, the Commonwealth continued to mint coins like this one, which feature the image of Stephen Báthory, a prominent leader during this time period.
