| Beschrijving voorzijde | As a bracteate, the coin bears a single-sided relief design struck through a thin silver flan. The central field depicts a crowned or helmeted princely figure in frontal stance, holding what appears to be a lance or sceptre in one hand, rendered in a bold, schematic Romanesque style characteristic of Piast dynastic coinage. The figure is framed beneath an arched architectural element supported by two flanking attendant figures or pillars, evoking a palatial or ecclesiastical gateway motif. Additional symbols, including what appears to be a crescent and a stylised tower above the arch, are visible in the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded border running along the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mieszko the Younger held Kalisz as his principal seat during the fragmentation period of Piast Poland, when the duchy had been parceled among competing princes under the seniority principle established by Bolesław III's 1138 testament. His tenure was characteristically unstable — he was expelled from Kalisz more than once by rival claimants — which compresses the effective minting window considerably. The bracteate fabric itself, a single-sided hammered sheet, was the dominant Polish coinage technology of the late twelfth century, adopted from German practice.
Kop#139 is among the scarcer attributable issues from this fragmentation era. Findspot evidence places most known examples within Greater Poland proper.
