| Reverse description | As is characteristic of bracteate coinage, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the crowned facing bust of Wenceslaus II in intaglio relief. The thin hammered silver flan exhibits the typical undulating surface and irregular edge associated with medieval Moravian bracteates. No independent design or legend is present on this side, the entire reverse impression being a consequence of the single-die striking technique employed. |
