Additional information

Leszek the White's tenure as Duke of Kraków was repeatedly interrupted — he was expelled twice, first in 1202 and again in 1210, before consolidating control. Bracteates of this period were struck on flans so thin that the image punched through entirely, making double-sided striking impossible and survival in any condition genuinely difficult. Kop#168 is among the more elusive attributions in Kopicki's catalog of Piast coinage.
