Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its reverse side - an eagle and a rabbit. This design was chosen to represent the dual nature of Ladislaus II the Exile, who was both a fierce warrior and a wise and just ruler. The eagle symbolized his strength and bravery, while the rabbit represented his gentle and compassionate side. This coin is a rare and valuable example of medieval coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
