Denier Bracteate - Wencezlaus II medium

Wenceslaus II ruled Moravia as margrave under the broader Přemyslid dominion, and the bracteate deniers of this period reflect a monetary tradition already fading across much of Central Europe — thin, single-sided striking on broad flans had largely given way to double-sided coinage in most neighboring territories by this point. Moravia held on longer than most. Cach 997 falls within the middle-weight bracket of a three-tiered series distinguished by flan size and striking weight, a pragmatic response to fluctuating silver availability in the Bohemian mining regions that supplied the blanks.
