Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Boleslaus V the Chaste (Kraków) ND (1243-1279) from Duchy of Kraków (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 horseman, which was a common motif in pagan Slavic art. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Duchy of Kraków during the 13th century.
