Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II (medium) ND (1270-1278) coin is that it features a unique blend of both Moravian and Bohemian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Ottokar II, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Bohemian lion, which was a symbol of the Přemyslid dynasty that ruled both Moravia and Bohemia. This blending of designs reflects the political union between the two regions during Ottokar II's reign.
