Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Swietopelk II the Great, who was a powerful duke of East Pomerania in the 13th century. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the economy and culture of his region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs only 0.18 grams, making it a small but valuable piece of currency for its time.
