| Additional information |
Bretislaus I consolidated Bohemian power aggressively, briefly seizing Moravia, Silesia, and much of Poland — including Kraków and Gniezno — in 1039, before Holy Roman Emperor Henry III forced him to relinquish most of these gains. The deniers struck under his authority reflect a mint operating under genuine political pressure, producing coinage for a ruler perpetually negotiating between ambition and imperial constraint.
Cach 316 is among the more precisely attributed varieties in the Bretislaus series.
