Comment
Haczewska, Paszkiewicz 2004-3; Garbaczewski 2007-71; Garbaczewski 179Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin featuring Leszek the White is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Poland. Leszek the White was a duke who ruled during a period of political instability and conflict, and the coin was likely used as a means of financing his military campaigns. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Polish people.
