Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the author's findings on Silesian coins from the Middle Ages. The analysis of the coins reveals that the ducal coins were superseded by a range of civic coins during the late 14th and in particular the 15th century. The author gives background information on the struggles for power between dukes and cities as well as the role of the Hussites in that time period. Silesian coins from this period are divided into two categories, one sided and two sided. The majority of coins produced were two sided and the article goes into depth about the symbolism of the imagery on the coins which typically includes the city's coat of arms. The author's examination sheds light on the importance of the varying heraldry in determining the origin of these coins as well as the economic and political shifts that influenced coinage in this region.
