Denier - Boleslaus II the Pious

Boleslaus II secured a bishopric for Bohemia in 973 — the diocese of Prague, wrested from the jurisdiction of Regensburg after years of political maneuvering with the Ottonian court. That administrative independence gave the Bohemian church, and by extension the duke's treasury, a degree of autonomy that earlier Přemyslid rulers had been denied. Deniers of his reign are among the first Bohemian issues that can be attributed with reasonable confidence to a domestic minting operation rather than imitative German production.

Cach 49 is one of several distinct types catalogued across his long rule, a span that saw significant variation in die workmanship.
