Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Vladislaus II ND (1224-1227) from Unified Moravia and Margraviate made of Silver is interesting because 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 and the Islamic influence in the region, respectively. On the other side, it features a stylized image of a mythical creature, possibly a griffin or a dragon, which was a common motif in medieval Moravian art and symbolized power and protection. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the diverse cultural influences present in medieval Moravia and the efforts of its rulers to promote religious tolerance and coexistence.
