Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Borivoj II ND (1100-1110) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique design element - a cross with five pelicans on the reverse side. This design was a symbol of the Christian faith and was used to signify the importance of charity and selflessness. The use of pelicans in this context is particularly interesting because it is a nod to the medieval legend that pelicans would feed their young with their own blood, which was seen as a powerful symbol of sacrifice and devotion. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and cultural significance.
