Beschrijving keerzijde Uniface bracteate; the reverse presents the incuse mirror-image impression of the obverse design, showing the faint negative relief of the crowned leopard-lion as an inherent consequence of the single-die bracteate striking technique. The surface is plain and undecorated, with no legend, inscription, or intentional design element. The irregular flan edge and concave curvature typical of thirteenth-century Austrian bracteates are clearly evident.

Aanvullende informatie

Ottokar II of Bohemia held Carinthia from 1269 until his defeat and death at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, and these thin silver bracteates were struck during that compressed window of Bohemian dominance over the duchy. The Völkermarkt mint — one of several active Carinthian minting centers under Ottokar — was already well-established before his acquisition of the region, which he secured through the Treaty of Vienna following the extinction of the Babenberg line.

Bracteates of this type are structurally fragile by design, struck on a single die against a soft backing. Surviving examples without splits or creases are genuinely scarce.
