Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Odon Mieszkowic (Poznań) ND (1179-1194) from Duchy of Greater Poland (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features an image of a bracteate, which is a type of medieval coin that was popular in Central and Eastern Europe during the 12th to 14th centuries. The bracteate was a thin, flat coin made of silver or other precious metals, and it was often decorated with intricate designs and inscriptions. The use of bracteates as a form of currency was a significant innovation in the history of numismatics, as it allowed for the creation of smaller, more portable coins that were easier to use in everyday transactions.
