Additional information

Otto I ruled Olomouc as an appanage principality under the Přemyslid dynasty during a period when Bohemia's internal divisions produced a proliferation of regional coinages, each minor court asserting fiscal independence through its own mint output. His deniers are among the earliest attributable issues from the Olomouc mint, predating the administrative consolidation that would eventually suppress provincial coinage in favor of centralized Bohemian production.

Cach 376 is a scarce type. The thin fabric and irregular flan shape characteristic of this issue reflect the technical limitations of Moravian minting at the time, not careless production.
