Additional information

Boleslaus III ruled Bohemia twice — briefly from 999, then ousted by his brother Jaromír, then restored, then ousted again by Vladivoj in 1002, then back once more before being permanently blinded and imprisoned by his cousin Bolesław I of Poland in 1003. The political chaos of those four years is compressed into a handful of surviving denier types.

Cach 185 is among the scarcer attributions in the early Přemyslid series. Dies from this reign show little continuity, which is unsurprising given that no single administrative authority held stable control of the Bohemian mint at Prague for more than a few months at a stretch.
