| Additional information |
Wenceslas II inherited the Bohemian throne as a seven-year-old in 1278 following his father Otakar II's death at the Battle on the Marchfeld, spending his early reign effectively imprisoned by his guardian Otto of Brandenburg. The bracteate coinage issued under his name during this period reflects administrative continuity maintained by regents rather than any direct royal initiative. Cach 862 places this type among the thinner, single-sided Prague deniers characteristic of the late 13th century, struck before Wenceslas restructured Bohemian coinage upon consolidating power and eventually opening the Kutná Hora silver mines to systematic exploitation after 1300.
