0 Euro - Copper Legnica

Legnica — known in German as Liegnitz — was the site of one of the most consequential defeats in medieval European history: the Battle of Legnica in 1241, where Mongol forces under Batu Khan and Subutai destroyed a Polish-German coalition army, killing Duke Henry II of Silesia. The city spent much of the Cold War as home to Soviet Northern Group of Forces headquarters, leaving only after 1993.
