Interesting fact

The coin is a rare and historically significant piece, minted during the reign of Sobeslaus I and Wenceslaus ND in the 12th century. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. On one side, it depicts a cross and a crescent moon, symbolizing the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a stylized image of a tree, which was a common motif in pre-Christian Slavic mythology. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Duchy of Olomouc during that time period.
