Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a bracteate, which is a type of medieval silver coin that was popular in Central and Eastern Europe during the 12th to 14th centuries. The bracteate on this coin is decorated with a protective cross, which was believed to have protective powers and was often used on coins during this time period. This coin is a rare example of a bracteate coin from the Kingdom of Poland, and its unique design makes it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
