Medieval Polish silver coin

[garryson]

I've been really busy this season, and I haven't been able to get out nearly as much as I'd like to.
Here's my results from yesterday.
I found a silver coin (Alexander Jagello 1501-1506), and two medieval thimbles.

Alexander Jagello King of Poland (1501-1506). His brother Vladialaus II King of Bohemia and Hungary (1490-1516)

The Polish Knights became imbued with the idea that they were really the living rampart chosen "to defend the Cross" against the "fanatical power of the Osmans". The task was brilliantly accomplished but only after the most terrible struggles. The exploits of the "winged Hussars", the flower of the Polish Army, were everywhere celebrated. From the steppes of Bessarabia and Hungary, even as far as the Balkans, the ground was covered with the graves of the Polish knights. For generations the greatest leaders of the Polish army began over and over again this traditional struggle and not only did they take part in the campaigns but they gave their lives as well on the battlefields.
