Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bishop Iwo Odrowąż, who was a prominent religious and political figure in medieval Poland. He served as the Bishop of Kraków from 1218 to 1229 and was known for his efforts to promote Christianity and strengthen the Catholic Church in Poland. The coin was likely used in everyday transactions and could have been carried by merchants, traders, and other individuals living in the Bishopric of Kraków during this time period.
