Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II ND (1270-1278) coin is that it features a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stylized representation of the Moravian castle, which was an important symbol of power and authority for the ruling Premyslid dynasty. The castle is portrayed with tall, pointed towers and a central keep, surrounded by a curtain wall and a moat. This design represents the fusion of Romanesque and Gothic elements, which was a common feature of medieval architecture in Central Europe during the 13th century.
