Denier - Vladislaus I

Vladislaus I received the title of King — rather than Duke — from Frederick Barbarossa in 1158 as direct payment for Bohemian military support during the siege of Milan. The elevation was personal, not hereditary, and lapsed at his death, which makes the coinage struck under his royal title a product of a kingship that existed for one reign only.

Cach 613 is among the more consistently documented of his denier types, though die workmanship across the series varies considerably — a reflection of decentralized minting practice in twelfth-century Bohemia rather than any single workshop standard.
