Mint: Kraków or Sieciechów ?Interesting fact
The Denier - Sieciech (Kraków or Sieciechów) ND (1090-1100) coin from the Kingdom of Poland was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique feature called a "countermark." A countermark is a small stamp or marking that was added to the coin after it was minted, typically to indicate that it had been verified or certified by a particular authority. In the case of the Denier - Sieciech coin, the countermark was a small cross that was stamped onto the coin's surface. This feature helped to prevent counterfeiting and ensured the coin's authenticity.
