Comment
Mieszko III StaryMint: Gniezno or Kalisz
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mieszko III the Old, who was the Duke of Greater Poland and a prominent figure in Polish history. He ruled from 1138 to 1202 and was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to unify the Polish territories. The coin itself is a Denier Bracteate, a type of medieval coin that was widely used in Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries. It is made of silver and weighs 0.14 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The fact that it was issued in the Duchy of Greater Poland, which was a powerful and influential state in medieval Europe, adds to its historical significance.
