Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Boleslaus V the Chaste or Bolesław the Pious (Kraków or Poznań) ND (1247-1279) 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 is a common motif in ancient Slavic mythology. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex cultural landscape of medieval Poland and the ongoing dialogue between Christianity and pre-Christian beliefs.
