Heinrich II or Boleslaus II, Bracteat

An exquisite, periwinkle piece, with a beautifully preserved luster in the background.
In such a state of preservation - a rarity.

A very rare type, belonging to the group of Rataji brakteats, introduced into circulation around 1220.
The offered piece depicts the head of a prince with a cross at the top, with a tower and gonfanon on the sides.
One of the rarest and late brakteates of its type.

A coin occasionally listed on the auction market, worthy of recommendation for the best collections.
