Comment
SM4A.13aThis coin is variously attributed to the Duchy of Glogau / Freystadt (Kożuchów) mint, or as a city issue of Freystadt (Kożuchów)
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry IX, who was the Duke of Glogau and Freystadt from 1413 to 1450. He was a member of the Piast dynasty, which was a royal dynasty that ruled Poland and other regions in Central Europe for over 800 years. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by the Duke himself, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political climate of the time.
