Jędrzejów Abbey, founded by Cistercians in 1140 as the first Cistercian house on Polish soil, held minting privileges granted by the Polish crown that allowed it to produce bracteate deniers for local circulation in the Małopolska region. The identity of the specific abbot authorizing this issue remains unresolved — a problem not unusual for 14th-century ecclesiastical bracteates, where abbatial succession records are fragmentary at best.
Bracteate production itself was a technical compromise: single-sided, struck on thin hammered flans, these coins were cheaper to produce but wore and crumpled quickly in circulation. Kop#243 places this piece within Kopicki's broader survey of medieval Polish ecclesiastical issues.
