Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Premislaus II (Poznań) ND (1277-1296) from Duchy of Greater Poland (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a pagan deity, possibly a representation of the Slavic goddess Mokosh, who was revered for fertility and agriculture. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during that time period.
