Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mieszko III the Old or Wladyslaw III Spindleshanks, who was the Duke of Greater Poland from 1173 to 1229. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier bracteate, which was a type of coin that was commonly used in medieval Europe. The coin's design features a detailed image of the duke on one side and a cross on the other, signifying the coin's value and the duke's allegiance to Christianity. Despite its small weight of 0.11 grams, this coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economic and political systems of medieval Poland.
