One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Leszek the White (Kraków) ND (1194-1227) coin is that it features an image of Leszek the White, a prominent Polish prince, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during Leszek's reign as the Duke of Kraków, and it is believed to be one of the earliest coins to feature a Polish ruler's image. The coin's design and the use of silver as its material reflect the influence of Western European coinage on Polish currency during this period.
