| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided hammered denier (bracteate-type uniface issue) struck in crude style characteristic of early Piast coinage. The obverse displays a stylized bust in profile facing right, rendered in a highly schematic manner within a linear inner circle. Surrounding the central effigy, a partial Latin legend reads +BOL (for Boleslaus), arranged around the upper field. The lettering is irregularly spaced and deeply impressed, reflecting primitive die-cutting technique of the early eleventh century. The flan is irregular in shape with uneven edges typical of hand-cut medieval blanks. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Boleslaus I secured a royal coronation in 1025 — the very last year of this issue's possible date range — after decades of maneuvering against both the Holy Roman Empire and the Piast dynasty's internal rivals. His earliest deniers, struck sometime after the Congress of Gniezno in 1000 where Otto III effectively recognized Polish quasi-regal status, represent the first coinage issued under anything resembling a sovereign Polish authority. The mint attribution remains unresolved; Gniezno and Poznań are the leading candidates, though die studies have not produced a definitive answer.
