| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned enthroned figure of King Wenceslaus I facing, depicted in Romanesque style within a beaded inner circle. The king is shown seated frontally, wearing a crown, and holding a sceptre topped with a fleur-de-lis in his right hand and an orb or similar regalia in his left. Small circular ornaments or annulets are visible in the lower field to either side of the throne. The entire design is executed in high relief characteristic of bracteate coinage, with the thin flan exhibiting the typical irregular hammered edge. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Uniface bracteate; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, as is inherent to the bracteate manufacturing technique wherein a single die strikes through the thin silver flan. The surface is blank of any intentional design or legend, showing only the incuse impression of the obverse relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wenceslaus I ruled Bohemia during a period of intense German colonization, actively recruiting settlers from the Holy Roman Empire to populate newly founded towns — a policy that brought both economic expansion and significant German cultural influence into Bohemian minting practice. The bracteate form itself reflects that influence, having migrated east and south from its origins in Saxon and Thuringian workshops.
Cach 717 is among the thinner, more fragile examples of Bohemian bracteate production, struck on a broad flan from a single die — the mechanical consequence of the format that makes intact survivors without cracks or splits genuinely difficult to find.
