| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylized lion passant facing forward in a frontal heraldic posture, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Bohemian bracteate coinage. The beast is shown with a large frontal head featuring prominent facial features, flanked by decorative foliate or scroll elements on either side. The figure is contained within a beaded or rope inner border, surrounded by a flat rim typical of the large bracteate format. The design is executed in the Romanesque artistic style prevalent during the reign of Wenceslaus I, with a strong, deeply struck impression on thin silver planchet. No legend or inscription is present. |

Wenceslaus I ruled Bohemia through a period of intense German colonization and significant urban development, inviting settlers who brought with them Central European minting traditions that directly influenced Bohemian coinage. Bracteate production in Bohemia during this period reflects that German technical influence — these thin, single-die struck pieces were practical for a rapidly monetizing economy but wore and tore easily, which explains why undamaged survivors are genuinely scarce.
Cach 749 is among the larger bracteate types attributed to this reign, distinguished by die characteristics documented in František Cach's foundational Czech medieval corpus.
