| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a schematically rendered right hand with fingers extended upward, depicted in a crude but characteristic early medieval style. The hand motif, associated with divine authority or the ruling prince, is rendered in bold relief. Surrounding the central device is a circular Latin legend reading + MIESZKO, executed in retrograde or irregular letterforms typical of early Polish hammered coinage. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with a double border visible at the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mieszko II Lambert received a formal education unusual for a Polish ruler of the period — he reportedly read Latin and Greek, and was said to have received a book of liturgical chants from the German noblewoman Mathilda of Swabia. His reign was marked by catastrophic external pressure: a coordinated invasion in 1031 by the Holy Roman Empire and Kievan Rus stripped him of territory and sent him briefly into exile. Coins attributable to his co-regency period under Bolesław I are exceptionally rare, with attribution complicated by the absence of mint signatures and the limited documentary record of early Polish minting infrastructure.
