Władysław Łokietek — "the Elbow-high" — was one of the most tenacious political survivors of medieval Poland, repeatedly driven into exile and forced to rebuild his power base from the ground up. These thin, one-sided bracteates were struck during the period when he controlled fragmentary territories in Kuyavia and Sieradz, minting locally as a assertion of ducal authority rather than from any consolidated administrative position. The attribution between Brześć Kujawski and Sieradz remains unresolved precisely because his grip on each shifted repeatedly during these decades.
