One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Wencezlaus II (medium) ND (1278-1300) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Wenceslaus II, while the reverse side features a depiction of a mythical creature known as the "bracteate beast," which is a combination of a lion, an eagle, and a dragon. This blending of religious and mythological symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Unified Moravia and Margraviate region during the 13th century.
