One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Wencezlaus II (medium) ND (1278-1300) from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned king, likely Wencezlaus II, holding a scepter and an orb, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Bohemian coat of arms, which includes a crescent moon and five stars. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex history and cultural influences of the Kingdom of Bohemia during this time period.
