Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Ladislaus I the Elbow-high (Kraków) ND (1320-1333) silver denier coin from the Kingdom of Poland is that it features a unique design element - the king's crown is depicted as a closed crown, which was a departure from the traditional open crown design seen on many other coins of the time. This design choice may have been made to symbolize the king's authority and power, or to differentiate the coin from others in circulation.
