| Additional information |
Otto III ruled Olomouc as a Přemyslid duke during a period of persistent dynastic fragmentation across Bohemia and Moravia, when individual appanage rulers issued their own coinage as much to assert local authority as to facilitate trade. The Olomouc mint was among the most active of the Moravian regional mints in the twelfth century, producing bracteate-influenced deniers of notably low weight — this piece at under half a gram sits at the lighter end even for the type.
