Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Wladyslaw III Spindleshanks or Wladyslaw Odonic, who was a duke of Greater Poland in the early 13th century. Despite his unusual name, he was known for his military prowess and his efforts to unify the Polish states. The coin itself is made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
