One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Leszek the White (Kraków) ND (1194-1227) from Duchy of Kraków (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Leszek the White, who was a Polish prince and the ruler of Kraków, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1194 to 1227, and it was used as a means of payment and exchange in the region.
