Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Alexander I Jagiellon ND (1495-1506) from Grand Duchy of Lithuania made of Billon (.250 silver) weighing 0.32 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a knight on horseback, which is a common motif in medieval Lithuanian coinage and represents the pagan beliefs of the region. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during this time period.
