Soběslav
Denar
The denar of Soběslav Slavníkovec combines political power and deep religious symbolism in the Czech lands of the 10th century. The obverse side of the coin shows a hand with a dagger, which depicts God's punishment for the sins of mankind or the authority of a secular ruler who is God's representative on Earth. The reverse side then depicts a pelican saving its young with its own wounds, which in this context symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who redeems the sins of mankind by his death.
