A new specimen of a bracteate showing a trumpeter on a tower and a beast (a dragon or lion) climbing it has been found in a private collection. Another specimen of this type was known in Dresden collection but it has been lost. The find provenance of both coins is unknown. It is hard to give a narrative interpretation of this motive, yet most probably it symbolises power. The trumpeter and the beast are present on some of the middle 13th century Polish ducal seals. Boleslaw the Pious, duke of Kalisz (1253) is fighting with a dragon, Casimir I, duke of Kuyavia (1250) is fighting with a lion and Lestek the Black, duke of Sieradz (1263/4) id fighting with a griffin. Behind each duke a trumpeter is blowing a horn to trumpet the duke's triumph. It is doubtful that Boleslaw the Pious, as a duke of Kalisz, could struck special type of coin and Lestek the Black was ruling too late. Therefore, the bracteate with the trumpeter on the tower and the east most presumably is a coin of Casimir I, duke of Kuyavian (1236?-1267). However, we can not exclude the possibility that the coin originates form another middle Polish or Great Poland princedom from c. 1220-1260.

Researchers of the Polish past often discuss Silesia in the tenth century but the entity later referred to by this name did not exist at that time while its individual parts had different runs of history. The first evidence of establishing contacts between the middle Oder basin and the Mediterranean world after the Migration Period are three Arabic coins from 770-776, bereft of notches, graffiti or other traces of circulation, found on Trzebnica Ridge (Figures 1-3). Unlike the wave of Arabic silver coinage a quarter of a century later, these coins arrived not via the ‘Northern Arch’ but from the south, via Venice. They probably mark the attempts of slavers to penetrate the Oder basin. After 950, the route from Bohemia to the mouth of the Oder river was established, leading alongside the Neisse and the Oder but it was soon disrupted by the expansion of the Milceni to the east. Behind the Milceni, however, was the power of the East Frankish Kingdom, so the Přemyslids expanded to the north-east to bypass the Neisse. The Přemyslid expansion consisted in collecting tributes from the tribes occupying the left bank of the Oder River: Zlasane, Trebouane, Pobarane and Dedosize – and in establishing permanent military outposts in Niemcza and Wrocław. The result of including the local dwellers in the trade and tributary network was the concentration of power in the tribes and the spread of silver hoarding. After the alliance between the Boleslavs of Prague and Mieszko I of Gniezno was established in c. 964, both states met on the middle Oder line and co-operated within the great trade corridor connecting Central Asia, Scandinavia and Western Europe. Political destabilization in Germany after 983 enabled Mieszko to break off the alliance, cross the Oder to the west and spread his influence along the Kaczawa to Milceni and Meissen lands, and then in 990 to drive the Czechs out of the area between Wrocław and the Sudetes. In this way, a route from Mayence to Kyïv was created, bypassing Prague, cut off the city from contacts with the mouth of the Oder River, which led to the crisis of the Czech state.

In 2005 during the refurbishing of Szewska Street in the historical centre of Wroclaw [Breslau] a coin was found which belongs to the numerous group of Silesian large module bracteates. It presents a dragon heading for the left, its tail loomed. A pair of ears and three legs to be seen upon it alongside a pearl rim on the coin's outer collar. Weight 0.48 g (after cleaning), 25.3 mm, remarkable damage. Actually a similar coin was known to Ferdinand Friedensburg (No. 153/697)2, yet it was a unique specimen, much worse legible than the one in question. Thus it is not absolutely certain whether it was analogous whatsoever. There is also a simplified, smaller coin with a very similar tripodal presentation (Friedensburg 156/701) which might be a later reference to the type under discussion (less than 22 mm in diameter, although it weighed 0.62 g). Besides, Friedensburg points out the occurrence of an obolus, i.e. the halfpenny, analogous to the smaller specimens. Perhaps that was the specimen later referred to by the said researcher without any comment, number 154.A/700. Large module bracteates were struck in Lower Silesian mints from around 1250 up till the turn of the 13th century; since almost all of them are uninscribed ones, accurate dating and territorial attribution remain still unsolved", The type discussed herein has not been recorded in any hoard, therefore it is particularly difficult to date. Its original weight might be reconstructed as approx. 0.7 g, thus remarkably high against the background of large module Silesian bracteates. As it is, the theoretical weight of large module bracteates introduced around 1250 presumably amounted to 0.821 g, however, coins struck already in 1268 were to weigh mere 0.58 g. The change of the weight, however, was not of a uniform or linear character, since the bracteate attributed to Henry IV the Probus in the years 1288-1290 weighed as much as 0.71 g. A characteristic ring-shaped punch was used to make the die to strike the coin from Szewska Street. The design is relatively coherent, no traits of pseudoheraldic hybrids upon it, which are to be seen on slightly later Silesian bracteates. However, instead of the dragon's other wing, the engraver, probably having misunderstood a pattern, presented a third (front) leg. Thus there are grounds to infer that our dragon, albeit originally coherent, foreshadows a series of new awkward hybrids which seem not to have been thought over beforehand, to appear upon the late bracteates of the same group. Judging by general features: weight, diameter, ornamentation, and the complex character of the type, the specimen found in Szewska Street does not seem to be particularly early, or for sure does not belong to late ones, therefore it might be roughly dated to approx. 1260- approx. 1280. Unfortunately it is not possible to point out the Lower Silesian duchy that issued the coin, as the mere fact of finding it in Wroclaw is not enough to regard it as a local one. Thus apart from the Wroclaw Duchy, those of Głogów [Glogau] and Legnica [Liegnitz] might be also taken into consideration. The symbols applied upon broad bracteates are remarkably richer than on the seals of Lower Silesian rulers known to us, that is the reason why, as it is, in many a case, just like the one in question, they have not lead to the issuer to be identified and localised.

Three coins were found during a small archaeological excavation at the medieval castle in the Lower Silesian village of Stare Kolnie (Popielów Commune, Opole County, Opolskie Voivodeship): a Silesian kwartnik from the beginning of the 14th century, a Wrocław heller from the years 1417-20 and a counterfeit Polish half-groschen struck after 1410. The kwartnik belongs to the oldest artifacts found at the castle, whereas the fifteenth-century coins were found in the layer related to the final demolition of the castle during the fighing in 1443.
