| Additional information |
Wenceslas II inherited the Bohemian throne under a regency following the death of his father Ottokar II at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, and the bracteate series issued under his name spans the politically turbulent years before he consolidated power in the late 1280s. Bohemia's silver output from the Jihlava mines underpinned much of Central European monetary circulation during this period, making Bohemian deniers regionally significant well beyond their face value.
Cach 859 falls within the "medium" bracteate classification, distinguishing it from both the heavier early issues and the thinner late-reign production as Kutná Hora began its rise to become the dominant Bohemian mint.
