| Obverse lettering | +WENCEZLAVS:TERCIVS +DEI : GRATIA * REX : BOEMIE |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays a crowned, double-tailed rampant lion passant to the left, the traditional heraldic emblem of the Kingdom of Bohemia, set within a plain inner circle. The lion is rendered with fine detail including the bifurcated tail, open crown, and extended claws, typical of Prague groschen coinage. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle, reading +*GROSSI*PRAGENSES*, identifying the denomination as Prague groschen. The inscription is struck in Gothic uncial script, consistent with the obverse lettering style. The entire composition reflects the standard typology of Bohemian grossi of the Wenceslaus IV period, here executed as a heavy piedfort multiple. |
