Comment
Coin previously attributed to the Bolesław V the Chaste.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier-Boleslaw I the Tall ND (1185-1201) coin from the Kingdom of Poland is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of a cross, symbolizing the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a image of a bison, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Slavic cultures. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex history and cultural influences of medieval Poland.
