Interesting fact

The Trzydukat koronny was a gold coin used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa in the late 16th century. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in Bydgoszcz, which is now a city in modern-day Poland, but at the time was a key location for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's minting operations. The coin's design features an image of Sigismund III Vasa on one side and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's coat of arms on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins have survived to the present day and are highly prized by collectors.
