Wratislaus II (Vratislav II) was the first King of Bohemia from 15 June 1085
and this silver denar (two types, narrow and wide crown) was issued to commemorate his coronation.
The royal title was a grant, however, from the Holly Roman Emperor and was not hereditary. Before being raised to kingship, he had ruled Bohemia as duke since 1061.
Wratislaus died of a hunting wound on January 14, 1092, after a reign of thirty years.
