Interesting fact
The Trzydukat koronny was a gold coin minted during the reign of King Sigismund III Vasa of Poland in the early 17th century. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "fleur de coin," which means "flower of the coin" in French. This technique involved stamping the coin with a die that had a small, raised flower or other design element in the center, which created a textured, three-dimensional effect on the surface of the coin. The use of this technique gave the Trzydukat koronny a distinctive look that set it apart from other coins of the time.
