Denier Bracteate - Odon Mieszkowic unknown mint

Odon Mieszkowic ruled Greater Poland during one of the most fractious periods of Piast dynastic politics, when the senior princes of fragmented Poland frequently minted their own bracteates as acts of local authority rather than commercial necessity. At 0.18 g, these thin single-sided strikes were poorly suited to long circulation — the type survives today almost exclusively in hoard contexts, pulled from the ground rather than worn through trade.
