Obverse description Central field dominated by a stylized architectural or decorative motif consisting of a prominent triangular or gabled form above a horizontal bar, with a circular element at center, all rendered in the bold, schematic style typical of early Bohemian hammered coinage. The design is surrounded by a partial Latin legend reading BOLESLAVS, distributed around the periphery within a beaded or rope border. The irregular flan exhibits characteristic uneven edges and flat, worn relief consistent with tenth-century Bohemian die work. Subsidiary angular and foliate ornaments fill the field around the central device. The overall composition reflects the influence of Carolingian and Ottonian coinage traditions on early Přemyslid monetary production.
