| Obverse description | Uniface hammered silver bracteate struck in low relief on a thin, irregularly trimmed flan. The central design depicts a frontal bust, likely a crowned royal figure, rendered in the schematic Romanesque style characteristic of Bohemian bracteates of the mid-13th century. The figure appears within a beaded or plain inner circle, with stylized regal attributes visible, including what appears to be a crown with decorative points. The shallow strike and characteristic buckling of the thin flan are consistent with bracteate production technique. |
