Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Bolesław Mieszkowic (Kruszwica or Inowrocław) ND (1186-1195) from Duchy of Kuyavia (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a pagan deity, possibly Śiva, the ancient Slavic god of fertility and prosperity. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Duchy of Kuyavia during that time period.
