Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Sambor II (Tczew) ND (1217-1278) from Duchy of East Pomerania (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend 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 representing the ancient Slavic goddess Mokosh. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the Middle Ages.
