| Additional information |
Ottokar II of Bohemia held Moravia as margrave before inheriting the Bohemian throne in 1253, and his monetary output from the region reflects the administrative complexity of ruling two territories simultaneously. The bracteate format — a single-sided coin struck on a thin flan — was already fading elsewhere in Central Europe by this period, making Moravian examples from his tenure something of a regional holdout against broader minting trends.
Cach 951 is among the smaller denominations of his Moravian bracteate series. The thin flans are prone to cracking at the edges, and fully intact examples without peripheral splits are genuinely scarce.
