| Additional information |
Ottokar II held Moravia as margrave only briefly before seizing the Bohemian throne in 1253, which makes this issue a product of an unusually compressed political moment. His father Wenceslas I had effectively sidelined him — Ottokar's control of Moravia was itself the result of a rebellion against paternal authority in 1248, temporarily suppressed and then grudgingly formalized.
Cach 898 is among the more precisely attributed deniers of this transitional period, a series where die workmanship varies considerably across the short window of issue.
