| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a stylized architectural structure resembling a schematic church or chapel facade, rendered in bold, angular lines with a triangular pediment surmounting a rectangular body bearing the mint abbreviation PRA (for Praga, i.e. Prague) in large letters within the structure. Star-shaped ornaments flank the building on either side, and a partial circular legend surrounds the design. The overall composition is characteristic of early Přemyslid coinage, with the mint name prominently displayed as the central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Boleslaus I acquired his epithet not from cruelty in battle but from the murder of his brother Wenceslaus in 935 — the same Wenceslaus later canonized and celebrated in the Christmas carol. The assassination secured Boleslaus the Bohemian throne and inaugurated a reign of nearly four decades during which he aggressively expanded Přemyslid territory and, critically, began consolidating enough economic infrastructure to support coinage.
Cach 4 is among the earliest documented Bohemian deniers, placing this piece at the very beginning of organized Czech minting history.
