Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ladislaus I the Short, who was the ruler of the Duchy of Kraków in the early 14th century. Despite his nickname, Ladislaus was known for his ambitious projects and military campaigns, which helped to expand the Duchy's territory and increase its influence in the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs only 0.19 grams, making it a small but valuable piece of currency for its time.
