One of the most beautiful denarii of this rare type that we have seen offered at auction.
It is the result of changes in minting under Curly, leading to the creation of a new type of coinage. It is dated to the last years of Boleslaw's reign. It is characterized by minting on thinner discs, having an almost half-bracteate character. However, changes in minting / stamp making techniques resulted in a markedly inferior minting quality of these coins. As a result, it is very difficult to find pieces with two-sided legibility, such as the present denarius.
The type with a representation of a ruler with a pennant, on horseback, referring iconographically to the princely denarii of Boleslaw the Bold. On the reverse depicting two triple arches with letters forming the inscription BOLEZLAV.
Very rare in such states of preservation.
