Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Tymf elbląski coin is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bust of August III Sas, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, on the obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional design of coins during that time period, which usually featured a full-body portrait of the ruler. The inclusion of the bust image was likely a deliberate choice to emphasize the king's authority and power.
