Abstract

Was there any link between silver mining in Poland and medieval Polish coinage and politics? The answer needs to submit historical mining studies that have been conducted and published till now, to a critical examination. It is necessary to discern between justified beliefs of scholars, and their wishful thinking, using three kinds of evidence: documentary, archaeological and natural.
