| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver, displaying a frontal enthroned figure of King Wenceslaus I within a raised inner circle. The ruler is depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner, seated facing, wearing a crown and royal robes, with both arms extending outward possibly holding regalia. The design is contained within a plain raised border and an outer ring formed by the irregular flan edge, consistent with Bohemian bracteate coinage of the mid-13th century. The relief is shallow and the details are rendered in a flat, somewhat schematic style typical of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |
