. Hungary Geza II. Bracteata 1141-1162 AD (No reserve price)

The Bracteata is a type of thin, single-sided silver coin that was widely minted in medieval Europe, including Hungary, during the reign of King Géza II between 1141 and 1162 AD. These coins were characterized by their lightweight and typically featured a sharp, high-relief design due to their one-sided nature. As currency, bracteates served daily economic functions but are now prized by collectors for their historical value and medieval minting techniques. Géza II, known for consolidating the Hungarian state, oversaw a period of relative stability, and his coinage reflects the artistry and monetary practices of the era. Because of their fragility and thinness, surviving bracteates are valuable for numismatists interested in medieval European monetary history and royal iconography.
