Interesting fact
The Russian Denier coin , which was minted during the reign of Władysław Opolczyk (Lwów) in the 14th century, features an image of a knight on horseback on one side and a cross on the other. This design was common for coins of that era and region, but what's interesting is that the knight is depicted with a distinctive hat, known as a "kamelaukion," which was a type of headgear worn by knights in the Kingdom of Poland during that time. This small detail provides a glimpse into the cultural and historical context in which the coin was minted and used.
