| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, this coin is struck on a single thin flan from one die only, producing an incuse mirror-image impression on the reverse. The reverse therefore shows the negative relief of the enthroned royal figure visible on the obverse, with no independent design or legend. The surface is plain and unworked, typical of all bracteate coinage of the Bohemian denier series of the 13th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wenceslaus I inherited a Bohemian kingdom still minting thin, single-sided bracteates in the older Central European tradition, but his reign saw the type pushed to its largest format — a technically demanding achievement given the fragility of such thin flans. The dies required exceptional skill to strike without tearing the metal, and many examples show radial stress cracks as a direct consequence.
Cach 732 is among the scarcer bracteate types of the reign. By the 1250s, the discovery of silver at Jihlava was already shifting Bohemian minting toward the broader monetary reforms that would eventually produce the Prague Groschen under Wenceslaus II.
