| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in low relief on a thin flan. Central field depicts a frontal crowned royal bust of Ottokar II, with stylized facial features, flanked symmetrically by two eagle heads or wing-like ornamental elements extending to either side. Below the main bust appears a second smaller facing head, likely a heraldic device or secondary royal emblem. The composition is arranged within a plain raised border, characteristic of Bohemian bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. |
