| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver. The central design depicts a crowned royal bust facing forward, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner, with a crown surmounted by a prominent six-petalled rosette or fleur-de-lis finial above. Flanking the bust on either side are two crenellated towers, suggesting a fortified city gate or castle, a heraldic motif associated with the Moravian margraviate. The entire composition is contained within a raised inner border, with a broad flat rim surrounding it. No legend is present; the design is uninscribed. |
