One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II (small) ND (1253-1270) coin is that it features a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned king, believed to be Ottokar II, with a scepter in his right hand and a globe in his left, while the reverse side features a cross with three pelicans, symbolizing charity, surrounding the coat of arms of the Přemyslid dynasty.
