Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ladislaus II the Exile (Kraków) ND (1138-1146) silver denier coin from the Kingdom of Poland is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Ladislaus II, who is depicted with a long beard and wearing a crown, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a dragon, which was a symbol of the ancient Slavic deity, Smiert. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of medieval Poland and highlights the ongoing influence of pre-Christian beliefs and practices in the region.
