Comment
Mieszko III StaryMint: Gniezno or Kalisz
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Mieszko III the Old, who was the Duke of Greater Poland and a prominent figure in Polish history. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1138 to 1202, and it is believed to be one of the earliest coins to feature a Polish ruler. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver also reflect the influence of European coinage standards of the time.
