Denier Bracteate - Leszek II Inowrocławski Inowrocław mint

Leszek II ruled Inowrocław through a period of relentless fragmentation, when Kuyavia was divided and subdivided among Piast heirs to the point that individual lordships barely constituted coherent political units. His coinage reflects this instability — bracteates of this mint survive in extremely small numbers, partly because the thin single-sided flans were notoriously fragile and rarely survived circulation intact, and partly because the issuing authority itself was too marginal to sustain consistent production. At 0.21g, these are among the lightest bracteates in the Polish regional series.
