Medium-sized bracteates have diameter between 27-32 mm.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II (medium) ND (1260-1278) from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of both Latin and Czech inscriptions. The obverse side of the coin bears the Latin inscription "Ottokarus II Dei Gratia Rex Boemie" ("Ottokar II, King of Bohemia by the grace of God"), while the reverse side features the Czech inscription "Wenceslaus II, Duke of Bohemia" ("Václav II, Vévoda Čechů"). This blend of languages reflects the cultural and linguistic influences present in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the 13th century.
