Comment
Mściwój II (Mszczuj II)Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin was minted during the reign of Mestwin II, who was the Duke of East Pomerania from 1266 to 1294. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of Mestwin II's coins. This cross pattée symbol was used by the Duke to signify his connection to the Christian faith and to differentiate his coins from those of other rulers.
