Mint: Wąchock

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Poland, specifically during the period of Mongol invasions in the 13th century. Despite the challenges of this time, the Wąchock Abbey, where the coin was minted, continued to produce coins, demonstrating the resilience and resourcefulness of the monks who lived there.
