Ladislaus I Herman, Denarius of Cracow - VLΛDIZLΛVS.
A denarius of Prince Wladyslaw I Herman minted at the Cracow mint. Second issue - presumably minted (according to Piotr Chabrzyk) from 1089, i.e. from the death of Mieszko Boleslawovic and the assumption of rule in Cracow by Wladyslaw I Herman.
Av.: Head of the ruler facing left. In the rim the name of the ruler: VLΛDIZLΛVS
Rw.: A building with three towers crowned with crosses. In the rim a barbarized inscription CRΛCOV.
Variety with towers surmounted by crosses.
Variant of punctuation with single spheres in the obverse obverse inscription.
Condition: PCGS MS63
A bit off-center and slightly deficient reverse, but a beautifully preserved piece. Very high PCGS grade. In this state of preservation, the coin is quite rare and quite difficult to obtain on the collector market. A piece for discerning collectors.
