| Additional information |
Svatopluk ruled Olomouc as a Přemyslid duke before seizing the Bohemian throne in 1107, a transition marked by the murder of his predecessor Bořivoj II's supporters. His Olomouc deniers are among the thinner issues of the regional Přemyslid series, struck at a moment when the Bohemian lands were fracturing into competing appanage duchies with no unified minting authority. Cach 433 is scarce in any condition — output from the Olomouc duchy was modest, and Svatopluk's reign there ended abruptly when he redirected his political ambitions toward Prague.
