| Reverse description | Central motif consists of a plain cross pattee set within a beaded inner circle, with groups of pellets arranged in the angles of the cross — three pellets in the upper quarter and rows of pellets in the lower quarters, creating a bold and symmetrical composition. The cross divides the inner field into four sections, each ornamented with pellet clusters in a pattern typical of Ottonian-influenced Bohemian deniers. A partially legible Latin legend surrounds the beaded inner circle in the outer field, with letterforms consistent with early medieval hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and the strike shows typical characteristics of tenth-century Bohemian mint production. |
