Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Spitignew II ND (1050-1054) from Unified Moravia and Margraviate made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while the reverse side features a image of a mythical creature, possibly a dragon or a griffin, which is a common motif in ancient Slavic mythology. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of medieval Europe and the syncretism that existed during that time.
