Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ladislaus I the Short (Sandomierz) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a horseman, which was a common motif in pre-Christian Slavic art. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Kingdom of Poland during the 14th century.
