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 from 1138 to 1202. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Polish state. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs only 0.03 grams, making it a small but valuable piece of history.
