A very iconographically interesting type of denarius of Boleslaw IV.
The result of changes in minting under Curly, on the way to a new type of coinage. Very thin disc, making the images less legible. Minting almost "half-bracteat". Nice state of preservation. Slight crumbling of the puck.
Type referring by its obverse to the first issues of Curly - with a reliquary - depicting the ruler in front, on a throne, but unlike them, the sword is raised here, instead of lying on his knees.
The reverse with a rare depiction of an eagle striding to the right, with wings spread.
Issue dated after 1166.
A rare item, absent, among others, from the collection of medieval coins in our 10 auctions.
Silver, diameter 15.9 x 17.3 mm, weight 0.31 g.
