| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, displaying a central design set within a raised inner circle. The field depicts a frontal bust or figure, likely a royal effigy of Ottokar I, rendered in low relief in the characteristic Bohemian bracteate style of the early 13th century. Flanking decorative elements, possibly floral or branch motifs, fill the inner circle. The broader outer field is plain and slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered bracteate production. No legend or inscription is present. |
