Ottokar I secured the hereditary kingship of Bohemia through the Golden Bull of Sicily in 1212, issued by Frederick II, which removed Bohemia from the electoral rotation and fixed the crown permanently in the Přemyslid line. These thin, single-sided bracteates were struck in the years immediately surrounding that political consolidation — a period when Bohemian minting was still decentralized and production quality varied sharply between workshops.
Cach 677 is among the more elusive attributions in the bracteate sequence, with relatively few confirmed examples documented in Czech institutional collections.
