Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin featuring Leszek of Masovia is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Masovia. Leszek, who ruled from 1173 to 1186, was faced with the challenge of maintaining the duchy's independence in the face of encroachment from neighboring powers, including the Kingdom of Poland and the Teutonic Order. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Denier Bracteate, reflects the duchy's continued prosperity and economic activity during this period.
