Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Boleslaus I the Brave, issued during his reign from 992 to 1006, was an important milestone in the history of Polish coinage. It was the first silver coin to be minted in Poland and marked the beginning of a new era in the country's monetary system. The coin's design featured the image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the Christian faith of the Polish people. The coin's minting was a significant achievement for the kingdom, as it demonstrated Poland's growing economic and political power in Europe during the Middle Ages.
