| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet displaying a central heraldic composition within a concave field. A stylized eagle displayed with spread wings occupies the upper portion, its head turned and rendered in a bold Romanesque manner. Below the eagle stands a fortified triple-towered castle or city gate with crenellated towers, the central tower slightly taller than the flanking ones. The design is bold and deeply impressed, characteristic of Moravian bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century under Margrave Ottokar II. |
