| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, this coin is struck on a single thin flan, resulting in the reverse displaying a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, with no independent reverse type or legend. The incuse relief shows the negative impression of the enthroned duke and canopy motif, characteristic of single-die bracteate production technique employed in 12th-century Polish minting. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Casimir II earned his epithet not through sentimentality but through a calculated political move — the 1180 Łęczyca congress, where he secured the support of the Polish church and nobility by surrendering hereditary succession rights in exchange for recognition as senior duke. The thin, one-sided bracteate format was the dominant coinage technology in central Europe at the time, adopted across German and Polish territories from the mid-twelfth century onward as a way to extract seigniorage through periodic recoinages.
Kopicki 164 is among the more elusive attributions in the bracteate series for this reign, with surviving examples frequently exhibiting the characteristic fragility of the fabric.
