This piece belongs to NBP's long-running series commemorating coins from Poland's medieval royal mints. The specific subject — the denarius of Bolesław II the Bold — dates to a reign that ended abruptly in 1079 when the king was exiled following the murder of Bishop Stanisław of Szczepanów, an act that triggered his excommunication and permanent removal from the throne. The original denarii from his reign are among the earliest Polish coins to carry a ruler's name, a significant step in asserting dynastic identity through currency.
Bolesław II had restored the Polish kingdom and received a royal crown in 1076 — the first such coronation in over four decades.
