A piece of great rarity, with few auction listings.
An interesting interpretation of this coin is given by Boris Paszkiewicz.
Pointing to Lower Silesian analogies regarding the ornament, he proposes an interpretation as a grapevine, and the lion could symbolize Christ.
Kraków (or Sandomierz) issue from 1230-40, before the Mongol invasion of 1241.
Beautifully minted piece, with mint luster, sheet losses.
Definitely recommended.
Obverse: lion walking to the right, in a circle decorated with a floral motif composed of two-leafed flowers.
Diameter 14 mm, weight 0.07 g.
