High rarity.
Brakteat attributed in part of the literature attributed to Conrad of Mazovia. After substantive consultation with Witold Garbaczewski, we can rule out Silesia, or rather, Malopolska. As the doctor points out, stylistically similar brakteates occurred in treasures from Anusin and Wieniec. Thus, it is most likely to be a Kuyavian (or Greater Poland) coin from around 1230-1270, he says, adding that "this is a very rare type from a group that was minted for a long time, possibly at several mints."
The closest analogue of the iconography may be the Piast brakteat illustrated in "Iconography" at number 31, but there we have a large stylistically better bust with a visible robe, two crosses, and no ring.
Representation: crowned head over insignia (sword, ring and cross / scepter), with radial shaft.
The first time in our offer.
The rarity of this coin may be evidenced by the fact that it was known to Edmund Kopicki from one piece (from the Zamoyski collection).
Beautiful state of preservation.
Silver, diameter 17.5 mm, weight 0.19 g.
