Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Wenceslaus ND (1120-1125) from Duchy of Olomouc (Moravia) made of Silver is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, on the obverse, and a cross with five pelicans on the reverse. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's power and his role as a protector of the Christian faith.
