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 from 1138 to 1202. He was known for his efforts to unify the Polish states and strengthen the country's economy, which is reflected in the issuance of this coin. The coin's design, featuring a bracteate (a type of medieval coin) with a cross and the Duke's name, symbolizes the Christian faith and the Duke's authority.
