Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Boleslaus III Wrymouth, who was the Duke of Krakow and later became the King of Poland. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Polish state. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1107 to 1138, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Kingdom of Poland. Despite its age, the coin has been well-preserved and is considered a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors.
