Beschrijving keerzijde As a bracteate, this coin has only one struck face; the reverse displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the rampant eagle and flanking architectural elements in negative relief, as is characteristic of all single-sided bracteate coinage. The thin silver flan shows natural flow lines and surface marks consistent with hammered production. A double concentric border ring is visible in incuse on the reverse field.

Aanvullende informatie

Leszek the White's tenure as Duke of Kraków was anything but stable — he was expelled from the duchy twice, in 1202 and again in 1210, before consolidating control. Bracteates of this period are struck on foil-thin flans, a minting technique common in Polish lands during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that produced coins essentially illegible from the reverse. The Kraków mint output from this reign is poorly documented, which explains the absent Kopicki reference number — many die varieties from this series remain uncatalogued or provisionally assigned.
