Comment

Władysław III Laskonogi or Władysław Odonic

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Władysław III Spindleshanks or Władysław Odonic, who was the Duke of Greater Poland from 1202 to 1238. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier bracteate, a type of coin that was commonly used in medieval Europe. The coin's design features a cross on one side and a legend on the other, which is a unique combination for a coin from this time period. Additionally, the coin's small weight of 0.13 grams makes it a rare and valuable collector's item.
