Beschrijving voorzijde Uniface bracteate depicting an elephant in left profile, rendered in a stylized medieval manner. The animal's body is shown in low relief with curved, simplified contours characteristic of 13th-century Germanic bracteate coinage. Upon the elephant's back sits a decorative howdah or castle-like structure, composed of a flat platform or cover surmounted by two squat, pointed towers, each adorned with pellet details. The entire design is contained within a raised border that follows the irregular flan edge, typical of hammered bracteate production.

Aanvullende informatie

Ottokar II of Bohemia held Carinthia from 1269 until his defeat by Rudolf of Habsburg at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, and coins struck in his name from this duchy represent a politically compressed window of just a few years. Landstraß — modern-day Novo Mesto in Slovenia — served as a regional administrative center during his expansion into the southeastern Alpine lands, and bracteates of this type were minted there as part of his broader effort to consolidate monetary control across his newly acquired territories.

Ottokar's death at Marchfeld effectively ended Bohemian ambitions in the region permanently.
