Beschrijving voorzijde Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet depicting two facing crowned royal busts side by side, each wearing a stylized crown with pellet finials; the busts are conjoined at the shoulders and separated by a vertical sceptre or cross-tipped staff rising between them. The portraiture is rendered in the bold, shallow relief characteristic of Bohemian bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. A beaded or denticulated border frames the lower portion of the design. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the two crowned heads filling the central field in a frontal, hieratic arrangement.

Aanvullende informatie

Ottokar II ruled Bohemia at the height of its medieval power, controlling territory stretching from the Adriatic to the Baltic at his peak. These thin, single-sided bracteates were the dominant small denomination of the Bohemian monetary system during his reign, struck in large numbers across multiple minting centers. The type designated Cach 823 falls within the middle period of his coinage, before the catastrophic defeat at Marchfeld in 1278, where Ottokar was killed fighting Rudolf of Habsburg — an event that ended both the king and, effectively, this series.
