Denier - Ladislaus I the Elbow-high Kraków mint

Ladislaus I reunified a fragmented Poland after over a century of Piast dynastic subdivision, and his coronation at Kraków in 1320 — the first royal coronation held there, establishing the city's lasting ceremonial primacy — marks the starting point for this issue. The Kraków mint reactivated under his authority as a direct instrument of reasserting royal prerogative over coinage, which had been dispersed among regional dukes and bishops during the partition period.

Kop#323 is among the earliest deniers attributable to a reunified Polish royal mint, making condition a genuine concern — these circulated hard in a kingdom still consolidating its economy after decades of fragmentation.
