| Additional information |
Ottokar II ruled Moravia as margrave before inheriting Bohemia in 1253, and his bracteate issues from this period reflect the thin-flan hammered technique that dominated central European minting in the thirteenth century — single-sided coins struck with such force that the design pressed through as a mirror image on the reverse. Cach 920 falls within the earlier phase of his authority, before he began consolidating the mints that would serve his far more ambitious Bohemian royal coinage.
