Additional information

Boleslaus II secured a bishopric for Prague in 973, the first in Bohemia, and the deniers struck under his reign reflect a kingdom actively constructing ecclesiastical and political infrastructure to legitimize itself within the Latin West. Whether this specific type predates or postdates that diplomatic achievement shapes how one reads the issue entirely.

Cach 129 is among the more precisely attributed types in the early Bohemian series, though die variation within the reign is substantial and authentication against documented specimens is advisable.
