Interesting fact
The Trzydukat koronny was a gold coin minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the late 16th century. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "bullet casting," where molten gold was poured into a bullet-shaped mold to create the coin's distinctive shape. This technique was used to create a consistent weight and purity of the gold coins, and it resulted in a distinctive bullet-shaped coin that was easily recognizable and difficult to counterfeit.
