Hi,
I was wondering if these early medieval Polish coins with Hebrew inscriptions are on the Numista catalog, and if so where? Also if anyone knows more about these coins could they please share the information with me.
Thanks in advance
Here is a link to the coins I am referring to.

Hi,
I don't know anything about these Polish coins, but I can tell you that we can find the same case in Hungary.
Especially for Béla IV (XIIIe century), there are on certain coins Hebrew inscription. It's due to the fact that the mintmaster was Jew.
