Mint: WąchockInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Poland, known as the "Period of Fragmentation" (1227-1320), when the country was divided into several smaller principalities and territories, and the coinage system was not yet standardized. Despite this, the Wąchock Abbey, located in the region of Lesser Poland, continued to mint its own coins, like this Denier Bracteate, which was used for local trade and commerce.
