Denier - Otto I of Olomouc

Otto I ruled Olomouc as an appanage duchy under the Přemyslid system, which divided Bohemia's territories among male-line relatives rather than consolidating them under a single heir. His coinage was issued independently of Prague, reflecting the genuine fiscal autonomy these sub-duchies exercised in the latter half of the eleventh century. Cach 371 is among the better-documented Moravian denier attributions from this fragmented period, though die linkage studies have occasionally complicated the boundaries between his issues and those of his contemporaries in Brno and Znojmo.
