Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Casimir II the Just (Kraków) ND (1177-1194) 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 pagan deity, possibly a representation of the Slavic god Swiatowit, who was worshipped in the region during that time period. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the 12th century.
