| Obverse description | Two facing busts of rulers depicted side by side within a raised inner border, their schematic faces rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of 13th-century Moravian bracteate coinage. A central vertical element — likely a sceptre or column — separates the two figures, rising between them and terminating in a foliate or fleur-de-lis finial above. Each figure wears a simple crown or helm, with broad shoulders indicated in low relief. The composition fills the entire field of the thin, uniface flan, with no legend or inscription present. The overall design reflects the paired-ruler iconography associated with Ottokar II of Bohemia and the Moravian margraval tradition. |
