Interesting fact

The Denier - Hedwig I (Kraków) ND (1382-1386) coin was used as a means of payment in the Kingdom of Poland during the reign of King Hedwig I, also known as Jadwiga, who was the first female monarch of Poland. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted in trade due to its low weight and limited mintage. As a result, it is now considered a rare collector's item, with some specimens selling for high prices at auctions.
