Four variants of the above mentioned type were identified in the hoard. Their presence indicates that they were struck together and under the same ruler, i.e.,Vladislav I. Since no ceramic fragments were found at the site, this coin assemblage had probably been stored in a vessel made of an organic material. Due to the single-type composition of the hoard and its size, it is considered to be an immediate cash associated with an economic activity of the owner or his social position. Remarkable are the iconography and artistic level of the Cach 562 deniers with the image of a rider on a horse, turned backwards and shooting from a bow, on the obverse, and figures of St. Wenceslas and St. Adalbert placed, most likely, in the sy...
Two fragments of extraordinarily rare Moravian deniers of the C 301 type struck under Břetislaus ... more Two fragments of extraordinarily rare Moravian deniers of the C 301 type struck under Břetislaus I before 1030 were found during archaeological surface examinations at the Vraclav hillfort (Ústí nad Orlicí district, Pardubice region) in 2006–2016. There is the name of Břetislaus without his princely title on obverse, and the name of St. Clement, the Moravian patron, on reverse. Besides the described fragments, only four specimens of this type are known from foreign hoards (finds). Both fragments from the Vraclav hillfort represent the earliest precisely datable proof of penetration of the Moravian coins into the Bohemian territory.
