Comment
Kopicki (-); Haczewska, Paszkiewicz 2004-16; Garbaczewski 2007-287; Garbaczewski 189, Gorlińska T.41Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin featuring Leszek the White is that it was minted 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's production may have been a way to help finance his military campaigns or other initiatives. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Polish people.
