Comment

Władysław III Laskonogi or Władysław Odonic

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Wladyslaw III Spindleshanks or Wladyslaw Odonic, who was the Duke of Greater Poland from 1202 to 1238. Despite being a powerful leader, he was known for his unusual nickname "Spindleshanks," which likely referred to his slender legs. This nickname has been passed down through history and is still remembered today, making it a unique aspect of this coin.
