| Additional information |
Wenceslaus II of Bohemia gained control of Moravia following the death of his father Přemysl Otakar II at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 — one of the largest cavalry engagements of the medieval period — and the coinage issued under his authority in the margraviate reflects the administrative consolidation that followed that catastrophic defeat. Bracteate production in Moravia during this period was already in decline relative to Bohemian pfennig types, making issues attributable to this specific overlordship scarcer than the broad Přemyslid series suggests.
