Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II ND (1253-1270) 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 at the time. This blending of design elements reflects the political and cultural ties between the two regions during the 13th century.
