Denier - Svatopluk

Svatopluk ruled Olomouc as a Přemyslid duke before seizing the Bohemian ducal throne in 1107, a succession achieved through the murder of his cousin Bořivoj II's ally rather than any legitimate claim. His Olomouc deniers, struck across a roughly twelve-year window, represent one of the more politically turbulent minting periods among the Moravian appanage duchies. Cach 443 is among the scarcer attributions in the sequence — the dies show considerable variation across the type, consistent with decentralized workshop practice rather than a single controlled production run.
