Beautiful.
Mint coin with light bend marks. In a charming celadon patina.
One of the prettiest bracteates of this type we had on offer.
The first Polish bracteate with the image of a ruler on horseback, due to the lack of other attributes interpreted as an element of rulerly dignity.
The type with a rider on a horse to the right, with the inscription MESI in the field.
A prized brakteat of Mieszko III.
Ex. Karl Stephens (1988).
