Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II small

Ottokar II ruled Moravia before inheriting Bohemia, and his bracteate issues from this period reflect the thinly hammered, single-die technique that dominated Central European minting in the mid-thirteenth century. Bracteates of this size were highly susceptible to cracking and folding in circulation, which means undamaged survivors are genuinely uncommon despite what were likely substantial original mintages. Cach 961 sits among the smaller-module types in the sequence, distinguished from related issues primarily by die detail rather than module alone.
