Siemowit III StarszyMint: Płock ?
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Półgrosz - Siemowit III Elder (Płock) ND (1350-1379) coin from Duchy of Masovia (Polish States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of Siemowit III Elder, the Duke of Masovia, while the reverse side features the Polish eagle. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Poland, as the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a more centralized state. The coin's design reflects this shift, as it incorporates elements of both the old feudal order and the new centralized authority.
