The oldest type of denarius of Boleslaw the Curly, with the head of St. Adalbert on the reverse.
According to Stanislaw Suchodolski, the choice of St. Adalbert was a manifestation that it was the saint himself who sanctioned the seizure of power.
A very rare, undescribed, variant of the stamp with a HANTLEM (a baton topped with balls at the ends) over the head of a prince on the obverse.
Mint piece, sharp relief, beautiful luster.
Preserved original texture of the stamp.
