Comment
Small bracteates have diameter around 18mm.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II (small) ND (1253-1270) coin is that it features a unique blend of both Moravian and Germanic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Ottokar II, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in Moravian coinage during this period. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the reign of Ottokar II, who ruled over a vast territory that encompassed parts of modern-day Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Austria.
