| Obverse description | Central field features a cross pattée dividing the design into four quadrants, each containing a group of pellets arranged in a triangular pattern, creating a bold symmetrical composition typical of early Bohemian coinage. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by an outer toothed or crenellated border. A partially legible Latin legend runs around the periphery referencing the duke's name and title. The striking is irregular and slightly off-centre, consistent with hand-hammered medieval production. The overall style reflects Ottonian influence on early Přemyslid numismatic art. |
