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 it marked the beginning of a new era in the country's monetary system. Prior to this, Polish coins were made of less valuable metals like copper and bronze. The introduction of silver coins like the Denier helped to stabilize the Polish economy and increase trade with other European countries.
