Denier - Boleslaus I the Cruel

Boleslaus I came to power by murdering his brother Wenceslaus in 935 — the same Wenceslaus later canonized and enshrined in Bohemian national memory. The deniers issued under his reign represent some of the earliest indigenous coinage struck in Bohemia, predating any organized mint infrastructure in the modern sense and almost certainly produced by itinerant craftsmen working under ducal supervision.

Cach 6 is among the rarer die groupings in the early Bohemian series. Surface quality on surviving examples varies sharply due to inconsistent alloy preparation at source.
