Comment
Sobeslaus was a duke of Bohemia during 1125 - 1140. He is known for fortification of Prague castle and also for famous battle of Chlumec, where he defeated and captured king Lothair III of Germany. After his death, duchy of Bohemia passed on his nephew Vladislaus.Interesting fact
The Denier - Sobeslaus I ND (1125) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Sobeslaus I, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Bohemian economy. This coin, which was used for everyday transactions, features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the connection between the monarch and the Catholic Church. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not highly valued at the time, with its value being equivalent to about 1/4 of a gram of silver today. However, due to its historical significance and rarity, it is now highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auctions.
