| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized heraldic eagle displayed, rendered in low relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. The eagle's head faces forward with visible crown or coronet, wings spread symmetrically to either side, and talons extended below. The design is contained within a slightly raised inner circle or incuse field, surrounded by a broad plain flat rim typical of Moravian bracteate issues of the late 13th century. The overall execution reflects the flat, single-sided hammered technique with the design appearing in relief on the obverse and as a corresponding incuse impression on the reverse. |
