Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bolesław Mieszkowic or Leszek of Masovia, who was a powerful duke in medieval Poland. The coin features an image of the duke on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the Christian faith that was prevalent during that time period. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
