Interesting fact

The Denier wschowski coin was minted during the reign of John I Albert, who was the King of Poland from 1492 to 1501. It's made of silver and features an image of the king on one side and a coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was used as a form of currency during a time when Poland was facing economic challenges, and it was minted in large quantities to help address these issues. Despite its relatively low value, the Denier wschowski is a rare and sought-after collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
