What script is this and what does it say?
I cant even decide if it’s Latin or Cyrillic.
It was discovered in 1885 in Korzecznik, Poland. The inscription says: “ANVLVS SVAT”, usually interpreted as “Świętopełk’s ring” in Latin. Symbol engraved in the middle is most likely a lily. It was used by some members of Samborid dynasty, Świętopełk’s family.
