| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate depicting a stylized frontal figure, likely a seated or enthroned ruler, rendered in relief with schematic medieval workmanship. The central motif shows a figure with arms outstretched, flanked by simplified heraldic or symbolic elements. Below the figure, a crown or crown-like device is visible in the lower field. The design is characteristically compact and bold, consistent with Moravian bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century under Ottokar II. No legend is present; the entire field is occupied by the figural composition. |
