| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided bracteate struck on a thin silver flan with characteristic irregular scalloped edge. The central field depicts a stylized eagle displayed with spread wings, rendered in a compact, bold Germanic Romanesque style typical of Moravian bracteate coinage of the mid-13th century. The bird's head faces to the right, with outstretched wings flanking a powerful body. The design is set within a slightly concave central field, surrounded by a plain raised border ring. No legend is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the negative impression of the eagle motif pressed through the thin silver flan during striking. The surface is plain and unadorned, with the characteristic concave relief inherent to bracteate coinage technology. No separate reverse design or legend exists. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II ruled Moravia as margrave before inheriting Bohemia in 1253, and his coinage from this period reflects the transitional political moment — he was simultaneously consolidating Přemyslid authority over Moravia while pressing territorial claims into Austria and Styria. Bractéates of this type were struck from a single die on thin, broad flans, a technique that made them notoriously fragile and prone to tearing at the edges.
Cach 955 is among the smaller module varieties in Ottokar's Moravian bracteate sequence, distinguished from related types by subtle differences in die geometry that Cach documented in the 1970s.
