One interesting fact about the Ladislaus I Herman ND (1081-1102) silver denier coin from the Kingdom of Poland is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of a cross, symbolizing the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a image of a crescent moon and stars, which were symbols associated with the pre-Christian Slavic pagan beliefs. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of medieval Poland and highlights the complex transition from paganism to Christianity during that time.
