½ Groschen - Bolko I

Bolko I ruled Schweidnitz from 1278 until his death in 1301, consolidating a fragmented Piast inheritance into one of the more stable Silesian duchies of the period. His minting activity reflects deliberate economic policy — Schweidnitz sat on key trade routes connecting Bohemia to the Polish interior, and a reliable local coinage was not incidental to that position.

The date range on this type spans well beyond Bolko I himself, indicating successive rulers continued striking to the same standard under his name or his established type — a common Silesian practice that complicates precise attribution to reign.
