| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet. Within a double beaded border, a stylized quatrefoil or four-petalled rosette motif is centrally placed, formed by two lilies and two heraldic shields arranged in alternating cruciform disposition. The design elements radiate symmetrically from a central point, enclosed by a plain inner circle and a raised outer rim. The overall composition is characteristic of the Carinthian bracteate coinage of the late 13th century, reflecting the heraldic vocabulary of the Přemyslid administration under Ottokar II. |
