| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck on a thin, irregularly shaped silver flan with a characteristically concave profile and a broad, raised rim. The central field features a Bohemian lion passant in low relief, facing left with one forepaw raised, rendered in the vigorous, stylised manner typical of 13th-century Central European bracteate coinage. The lion's mane is indicated by schematic curling lines, and the flan presents the slightly irregular outline common to hammered bracteates of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |
