Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Boleslaus IV the Curly, issued during his reign from 1166 to 1173, features an image of the king on horseback, with a distinctive curly hair style, which gave him his nickname "the Curly". This coin was an important part of the currency system in the Kingdom of Poland during that time and was used for everyday transactions. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively small, weighing only 0.37 grams, making it a compact and portable form of currency.
