Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features an image of King Wenceslaus I on one side and a depiction of the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Wenceslaus' reign from 1230 to 1253 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a sign of the kingdom's wealth and power, and the Denier Bracteate coin was an important part of the Bohemian economy during the Middle Ages.
