| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver with a centrally positioned crowned royal bust rendered in relief, facing right in a stylized Romanesque manner. The crowned effigy is flanked on the left by a palm frond or lily branch and on the right by a globus cruciger (orb), both serving as royal attributes emblematic of Ottokar II's sovereignty. The design is enclosed within a raised inner border, itself surrounded by a scalloped outer rim characteristic of Bohemian bracteate coinage of the mid-to-late 13th century. The relief is bold and deeply struck, with the facial features and crown rendered with a degree of artistic refinement typical of the so-called 'medium' type associated with this reign. No legend or inscription is present on the coin. |
