Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Siemowit III Elder (Płock) ND (1350-1379) from Duchy of Masovia (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of Siemowit III, the Duke of Masovia, while the reverse side features the Polish eagle. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Poland, as the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a more centralized state.
