| Obverse description | Central device depicting a Bohemian crown rendered in Gothic style, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, struck in uncial Latin characters, reads WENCEZLAVS SECVNDVS, referencing the royal titulature of Wenceslaus II under whose name these posthumous issues continued to be struck. The fields show typical irregular surfaces consistent with hammered coinage of the late medieval Bohemian mint at Kutná Hora. The coin exhibits wear and die cracks characteristic of a posthumous emission produced after 1419. |
