| Additional information |
Boleslaus I came to power by murdering his brother Wenceslaus in 935 — the same Wenceslaus later canonized and celebrated in the Christmas carol. The deniers issued under his reign are among the earliest Bohemian coinage, produced as the Přemyslid dynasty worked to consolidate control over Bohemia and establish the administrative infrastructure of a functioning medieval state.
Cach 8 is one of the foundational references in early Bohemian numismatics. Surviving examples are rare in any condition.
