| Obverse description | Two facing figures seated within a beaded or rope-style oval frame, depicted in a crude but characteristic Romanesque style typical of Bohemian deniers of the late 12th century. The figures appear to be enthroned or in close confrontation, rendered in low relief with stylized drapery folds. The surrounding field is plain with no visible legend. The flan is irregularly shaped with an uneven rim consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A single standing or enthroned figure, likely a ruler or ecclesiastical dignitary, depicted frontally in Romanesque style with a cross or sceptre visible above. Crude, abbreviated Latin lettering appears to either side of the figure in the field, consistent with the abbreviated inscriptions typical of Bohemian deniers attributed to Duke Bedrich. The flan is broad and irregularly shaped, with the design slightly off-center as is characteristic of hammered coinage of this era. |
