Interesting fact
The Trojak litewski coin was used as a means of payment in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 16th century, and its design featured an image of Stefan Batory, who was the Voivode of Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania) from 1585 to 1586. The coin was made of silver and weighed 2.37 grams, with a diameter of 23 millimeters. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of the Commonwealth, which was a significant power in Eastern Europe during that time.
