| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck on a thin silver flan. Central motif depicts a stylized crowned bust or helmeted head in facing or near-facing position, rendered in low relief characteristic of Moravian bracteate coinage. The design is enclosed within a simple inner border, with the surrounding field showing the typical irregular edge of a hammered bracteate. The artistic execution reflects the provincial Romanesque-Gothic transitional style of mid-13th century Moravian minting under Ottokar II. |
