Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Władysław I the Elbow-high (Brześć Kujawski or Sieradz) ND (1275-1300) from Duchy of Kuyavia (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design, with an image of Władysław I the Elbow-high, the Duke of Kuyavia, on one side, and a depiction of the Polish eagle on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Poland, as the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a more centralized kingdom, and the coin's design reflects this shift in power. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins that were made of copper or bronze, signifying the growing wealth and influence of the Polish States.
