Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, which was minted during the reign of Jaromir (1003-1034), was made of silver and had a unique feature. It was one of the first coins in Europe to feature a portrait of the ruling monarch, Jaromir, on one side, and a depiction of St. George slaying a dragon on the other. This was a departure from the traditional motifs found on coins at the time, which often featured religious symbols or abstract designs. The inclusion of a portrait of the monarch and a mythical creature like the dragon made the coin stand out and reflected the growing influence of secularism in medieval Europe.
