| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned figure of Margrave Ottokar II depicted frontally, seated or standing, rendered in low relief in the characteristic bracteate style. The ruler is shown crowned with a simple crown, flanked by stylized foliate or heraldic ornaments on either side. The overall composition is compact and centrally placed within the concave field, framed by a raised rim typical of thin single-sided bracteate coinage. The design is executed in the schematic Romanesque-to-early Gothic artistic manner prevalent in Moravian mint production of the mid-thirteenth century. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II's tenure as Margrave of Moravia before ascending the Bohemian throne saw a deliberate expansion of minting activity, partly to fund his aggressive campaigns into Austria and Styria. The bracteate format — struck on a single thin flan from one die — was already declining elsewhere in Central Europe by the 1250s, making Moravia something of a conservative holdout for the type.
Cach 932 distinguishes this as the smaller module within Ottokar's Moravian bracteate sequence, a distinction that likely reflects a deliberate weight reduction rather than simple die variation.
