| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bracteate struck in thin silver with a single-sided design showing a enthroned princely figure facing, rendered in the archaic Romanesque style characteristic of Polish medieval coinage. The ruler is depicted seated frontally upon a throne or bench, holding what appears to be a sceptre or lance in one hand, with stylized heraldic or symbolic elements flanking the figure on either side. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded outer border. The design is executed in a crude but expressive manner typical of 12th-century Polish deniers, with schematic rendering of the face and regalia. The field surrounding the central effigy contains additional symbolic motifs consistent with the coinage of Mieszko III the Old. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mieszko III ruled Greater Poland twice — expelled by his own nobles in 1177, he clawed back power repeatedly over the next quarter century, a political instability that makes attributing his bracteate issues to specific mints genuinely difficult. The Gniezno and Kalisz attribution for Kop#107 reflects this uncertainty; both were active ducal mints under his authority at various points, and the die evidence does not cleanly separate them.
Bracteate production in Piast Poland replaced the earlier two-sided deniers not by design philosophy but by economic pressure — the coins were struck from a single die on thin sheet silver, dramatically reducing metal content per piece while maintaining nominal face value.
