Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ladislaus II Jagiellon Denier coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a knight on horseback, which was a common motif in medieval Polish coinage and represents the pagan beliefs of the region. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Kingdom of Poland during the 14th to 15th centuries.
