Obverse description Enthroned frontal figure of the king, depicted in regal attire with arms extended to either side, set within a raised inner circle against a flat field. The central effigy is rendered in the characteristic shallow relief of Bohemian bracteate coinage, with the figure's robes rendered in stylized folds typical of 13th-century Central European die-cutting. The broad, concave flan extends to an irregular toothed or serrated rim, a hallmark of the bracteate format. No legend is present; the design relies entirely on the royal effigy as the identifying device.
