The analysis of coins and medals of the Piast of Legnica and Brzeg pulished within in articulo mortis allows to state, that these princes created a very interesting and at the same time the most extensive set of numismatic funeral memorabilia in Silesia. The number of these objects, as well as the habit of issuing them to the funeral guests during the last farewell, show that they were an important part of the funeral ceremony and served to permanently materialize the deceased's memory for future generations. Reminder of the deceased and their glorification became the main goal of the created compositions of images and texts on the mentioned subjects. In case of princely posthumous coins, this goal was mostly achieved by one permanent iconographic scheme - the bust of the ruler on the obverse and the inscription containing the life data of the deceased on the reverse. In the funeral coins and medals of the princesses-wives, the most frequently used for this purpose were the family and marital signs on one side and again biographical inscriptions on the other.
