Comment
Władysław III Laskonogi or Władysław OdonicInteresting 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, which was a type of coin that was commonly used in medieval Europe. The coin's design features a unique blend of Christian and pagan motifs, reflecting the cultural influences of the time. Additionally, the coin's small weight of 0.17 grams makes it a notable example of the miniaturization of coinage during this period.
