Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin of Leszek of Masovia is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a pagan deity, possibly a representation of the Slavic god Swiatowit. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Duchy of Masovia during the 12th century.
