Mint: Płock ?Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Poland. The Duchy of Masovia, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential state in the region, and the coin's design and materials reflect the wealth and sophistication of the era. The use of silver, for example, was a sign of the coin's high value and the prince's authority. Additionally, the coin's unusual design, featuring a bracteate (a type of medieval coin) with a guziczkowy (a type of ornament) pattern, suggests that it may have been minted to commemorate a specific event or occasion, such as a royal wedding or coronation. Overall, this coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic, political, and cultural history of medieval Poland.
