Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Boleslaus III Wrymouth (Kraków) ND (1107-1138) from Kingdom of Poland made of Silver weighing 0.54 g is that it was issued during the reign of Bolesław III Wrymouth, who was the Duke of Kraków and Sandomierz and later became the King of Poland. This coin was used as a means of payment and circulated widely during his reign, which lasted from 1107 to 1138. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted with a high level of purity, as it was common for coins of that time to contain other metals like copper or lead. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and its historical significance makes it an interesting piece of Polish history.
