Comment

Son of Boleslaus II, Ulrich (Oldřich in Czech) was duke of Bohemia from 1012 to 1033, when he was deposed by his brother Jaromír, and then again briefly in 1034, after Jaromír was deposed and blinded. During his reign, Ulrich subdued Moravia (then administered by Polish duke Bolesław I the Brave) and incorporated it into Bohemian state.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ulrich ND (1012-1034) from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver weighing 1.13 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Ulrich, who was a member of the Přemyslid dynasty and ruled Bohemia from 1012 to 1034. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his reign and was likely used by merchants, traders, and everyday people for buying goods and services. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not valued as highly as other coins made of more precious metals, such as gold, and was likely used for smaller transactions. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of medieval Europe.
