Additional information

Boleslaus II consolidated Bohemia's ecclesiastical infrastructure during his reign, founding the bishopric of Prague in 973 — a move that shifted religious authority away from the Regensburg diocese and signaled genuine political independence. His deniers were among the earliest native Bohemian silver coinages, produced at a moment when the Přemyslid dynasty was actively constructing the administrative machinery of a Christian kingdom. Cach 108 is a documented variety within a series notorious for attribution difficulties, given the crude and variable die-cutting practices of the period.
