| Additional information |
Wenceslaus II governed Moravia as margrave under the Bohemian crown during a period of acute dynastic instability — the assassination of his father Přemysl Otakar II at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 left him a minor under Habsbur guardianship, with Otto of Brandenburg effectively controlling the territory through much of this issue's production window. Bracteates of this type are thin single-sided strikings, technically fragile and prone to cracking, which explains why survivors in presentable condition are genuinely scarce.
Cach 1013 places this among the medium-module variants within the series, distinguished from the smaller and larger denominations in the bracteate hierarchy Moravia maintained during this transitional period.
