Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Jewish symbols, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Duchy of Kuyavia during the 12th century. The coin's obverse side bears an image of a cross, while the reverse side features a Hebrew inscription and a depiction of a menorah, highlighting the influence of Jewish culture on the region's art and architecture. This blending of religious symbols is a rare example of interfaith dialogue and exchange in medieval Europe.
