| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal enthroned figure of King Wenceslaus I, depicted in regal posture wearing a crown, rendered in the thin single-sided bracteate technique characteristic of Bohemian coinage of the mid-13th century. The king is shown full-length, seated on a throne, with stylized heraldic or vegetal decorative elements flanking the figure on either side. The relief is shallow and typical of hammered bracteate production, with the design contained within a plain inner border. The overall composition reflects the Romanesque artistic conventions prevalent in Central European minting of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wenceslaus I ruled Bohemia during a period of intense German colonization, actively recruiting settlers from the Holy Roman Empire and reshaping the kingdom's economic infrastructure in the process. Bracteate coinage — struck on a single thin flan so that the design appears in relief on one side and incuse on the other — was the dominant Bohemian monetary form throughout the 13th century, a regional preference that set it apart from the double-sided pfennig tradition prevailing further west. Cach 712 is among the larger module pieces of the Wenceslaus bracteate series, a distinction that likely reflects higher-value transactions in an increasingly monetized economy.
