A Denier of Queen Constance with the Image of St. Adalbert and a Half Denier with the Same Motif
In August 2022, an isolated 13th century denier was discovered near the village of Klenice during an archaeological survey for the D35 Highway construction. The coin bears the inscription CONSTANCIA REGINA, linking it to Queen Constance of Hungary, the wife of King Přemysl I Ottokar. This coin resembles the deniers of the group of the Cach nos. 700–703 types, notably the Cach no. 700 type, indicating they may have been minted together or in close succession. A related half-denier was later discovered in Mezilesí, South Bohemia. Both unique coins may have originated in the Plzeň Mint, reflecting ties to Bavarian coin styles of that period.
