Comment
Differs from similar coins by Vytautas and Casimir IV by having letter B to represent ruler's baptismal name. Less common than others due to shorter reign and civil war.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Švitrigaila ND (1430-1432) coin from Grand Duchy of Lithuania is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Lithuanian goddess of fertility and prosperity, Milda. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the 15th century.
