Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and cultural change in the region. The Unified Moravia and Margraviate was a short-lived political entity that emerged in the early 12th century, and this coin was likely minted during the reign of one of its rulers, possibly Duke Sobeslav I. The coin's design and style reflect the influence of other European powers of the time, such as the Holy Roman Empire, and its silver content suggests that it was a valuable and widely used denomination in the region's economy.
