A very nicely preserved and rare in terms of variety denarius of the "reliquary" type.
Characterized both by the unusual and erroneous arrangement of the ruler's name inscription (B-O-AL-E-S-L-A-VV), as well as by an interesting sign above the ruler's head: a sword!
On the reverse, the saint's name is spelled counterclockwise (C S ADALBERTVS).
The oldest type of denarii of Curly, which began its minting by placing its patron saint, Saint Adalbert, on the reverse. As explained by Stanislaw Suchodolski, this choice was a manifestation that it was the saint himself who sanctioned the seizure of power.
Silver, diameter 16 mm, weight 0.50 g.
