Obverse description Central field depicts a standing figure, likely a bishop or duke in ecclesiastical or princely vestments, positioned frontally within a beaded inner circle. Small cross pattée devices are distributed around the figure within the inner circle. A Gothic or pseudo-medieval legend encircles the design in the outer ring, referencing MONETA or a similar monetary inscription. The overall style is consistent with medieval Central European denar coinage of the late 14th century. The design is a modern replica interpretation of coins issued under Władysław Opolczyk.

Additional information

Władysław Opolczyk, Duke of Opole, issued denars in the late 14th century during a period when he controlled significant territories in Silesia and parts of the Polish-Lithuanian borderlands through a series of shifting alliances — most notoriously with the Teutonic Knights, to whom he controversially pledged Dobrzyń Land in 1391, triggering a diplomatic crisis with Poland. This is a modern tin replica, produced in 2012, with no numismatic value beyond its educational function.
