Comment
Sometimes referenced as regular denar.Conrad I of Brno was a duke of Brno shortly in 1054 - 1055, and then again from 1061 until his death on 6 September 1092. In the last year of his life, we was proclaimed as duke of Bohemia and ruled as such for 8 months.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Conrad I of Brno in the 11th century. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted outside of the Duchy of Brno (now part of the Czech Republic), limiting its use and value.
