| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet displaying two crowned heads facing one another in profile, joined at the crown by a shared central ornament. Each bust is rendered in low relief with stylized facial features characteristic of Bohemian bracteate coinage of the mid-13th century. The lower field is decorated with two symmetrical clusters of pellets arranged in a semi-circular pattern. The design is enclosed within a plain inner border, with the irregular flan edge typical of hammered bracteate production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II's reign over Bohemia represented the kingdom's greatest medieval territorial expansion, stretching at its peak from Silesia to the Adriatic. These bracteates — struck on thin single-sided flans — were the dominant small-denomination silver currency of the Bohemian lands during his rule, produced in volume to support an economy flush with Kutná Hora silver. Cach 815 sits in the middle weight range of a series that scholars have sorted into light, medium, and heavy groupings based on flan thickness rather than design variation.
Ottokar was killed at the Battle on the Marchfeld in August 1278, which effectively ended this coinage type.
