| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet. Within a raised inner border, a lion passant is depicted in left profile, its body decorated with a pattern of pellets arranged in rows, representing the heraldic lion of Bohemia. The animal's head is turned to face forward and is surmounted by a crown or helmet-like crest. The design is rendered in a bold, stylised medieval manner typical of Central European bracteate coinage of the 13th century. The outer rim is irregular and slightly scalloped, consistent with hammered bracteate production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II's reign represented the territorial apex of medieval Bohemia, stretching at its height from the Adriatic to the Baltic. These bracteates — struck from a single die on thin silver flans — were minted during a period when Ottokar was actively competing with Rudolf of Habsburg for control of the German crown. The Bohemian king's silver resources, drawn from the enormously productive mines at Jihlava and Kutná Hora, gave him the economic leverage to sustain that ambition.
Ottokar was killed at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, which closes the dating on this issue precisely.
