Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Boleslaus I the Brave, issued during his reign from 1000 to 1025, 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. Prior to this, the Polish economy had relied heavily on bartering and the use of foreign currencies. The introduction of the Denier coin helped to establish a standardized system of currency and facilitated trade within the kingdom.
