Konrad I oleśnickiInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kwartnik coin featuring Konrad I of Oleśnica is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Poland. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ladislaus the Short, who was working to strengthen the Polish economy and centralize power in the kingdom. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from earlier coins, which were often made of less valuable metals like copper or bronze. This change in material reflects the growing prosperity and influence of the Polish State during this period.
