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 design element - a cross with three pelicans on the reverse side. This symbolism is associated with the Christian tradition and represents the three aspects of Christ's sacrifice - the pelicans feeding their young with their own blood, representing the sacrifice of Christ for humanity. This design element is not commonly found on coins from this time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
