Denier Bracteate - Wencezlaus II medium

Wenceslaus II inherited Moravia under the Bohemian crown following the death of his father Přemysl Otakar II at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 — a catastrophic defeat against Rudolf of Habsburg that reshaped central European power for generations. The bracteate format, by this period largely obsolete in western minting traditions, persisted in Moravian production well into the late thirteenth century as a regional convention rather than an economic necessity.

Cach 1007 places this piece within a sequence of related dies, and attribution to specific minting sites within the Margraviate remains contested among Czech numismatic literature.
