| Additional information |
Iwo Odrowąż, Bishop of Kraków from 1218 to 1229, was among the most politically consequential ecclesiastical figures in early Piast Poland — a papal legate, a close associate of Prince Leszek the White, and the man credited with bringing the Dominican Order to Poland in 1222. The Kraków episcopal mint operated under rights that were hard-won and jealously guarded, and issues from Odrowąż's tenure represent some of the earliest surviving evidence of independent episcopal monetary authority in the region.
Kop. 234 is a scarce type. Examples surface almost exclusively from hoards rather than single finds.
