Denier Bracteate - Wencezlaus II

Wenceslas II inherited the Bohemian throne as a seven-year-old in 1278 following the death of his father Ottokar II at the Battle on the Marchfeld, and spent years effectively imprisoned by his regent Otto of Brandenburg while the kingdom's finances were systematically plundered. The bracteate issues struck under his nominal authority during this period reflect a mint operating under contested control rather than royal direction.

Cach 867 is among the thinner-flan examples of the Bohemian bracteate tradition, which was already giving way to the heavier groschen coinage Wenceslas would introduce after consolidating power — culminating in the Prague Groschen reform of 1300.
