Interesting fact

The Trojak toruński coin was minted in 1763 during the reign of August III Sas, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. It was made of silver and was a standard circulation coin in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the city of Toruń on one side, which was an unusual design choice for coins at that time. The inclusion of the city's image was a nod to the important role that Toruń played in the Commonwealth's economy and trade.
