| Additional information |
Ludmila of Bohemia was strangled on the orders of her daughter-in-law Drahomíra at Tetín in 921 AD, making her the first Bohemian martyr. Her grandson Wenceslaus — later canonized himself — had been raised under her direct influence, which is precisely why Drahomíra had her killed. The political stakes of early Christian consolidation in Bohemia ran through family lines with lethal consequences.
Niue has issued gold in this weight class extensively as a vehicle for European saint and royal commemoratives, with KM numbers in the 3000–4000 range representing a prolific output from the New Zealand Mint across the late 2010s and early 2020s.
