Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ladislaus II the Exile, who was both a prince and a bishop in the Kingdom of Poland. Despite his royal lineage, Ladislaus was forced into exile several times throughout his life due to political conflicts, which is reflected in the name "Ladislaus II the Exile." This coin, minted during his time in exile, serves as a tangible reminder of his tumultuous history.
