| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a true bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with the central device appearing as a hollow depression surrounded by a concentric recessed ring. The flan surface is plain and unadorned apart from the incuse impression, exhibiting the characteristic dome-shaped curvature and flow lines resulting from the single-sided hammering process. The rim is thin and irregular with fissures and small splits consistent with the bracteate striking technique employed at the Kraków mint during the early 14th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Łokietek's path to minting these pieces was anything but straightforward. He lost Kraków to Wenceslaus II of Bohemia in 1291, spent years as a fugitive prince, and only reasserted control over the city after Wenceslaus III's assassination in 1306 left the Přemyslid line extinct. The bracteate series issued from Kraków reflects a political claim as much as a monetary one — thin silver coinage struck by a duke still fighting to consolidate Polish lands that had been fragmented for over a century.
Bracteate production in Małopolska was already technically marginal by this period, and pieces of this weight rarely survived circulation intact.
