Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique combination of both Latin and Czech inscriptions. The obverse side of the coin bears the Latin inscription "WENCEZLAUS DEI GRATIA REX" (Wenceslaus, by the grace of God, king), while the reverse side features the Czech inscription "NA BOHU" (for Bohemia). This blend of languages reflects the cultural and linguistic influences present in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the reign of Wenceslaus II.
