Reverse description Central field depicts a schematic facing bust of a figure, likely a bishop or saint, rendered in a primitive Romanesque style with large circular eyes, a prominent nose, and stylized hair indicated by a comb-like arrangement of lines at the crown. The bust is enclosed within a raised inner circle. The surrounding border contains a series of large six-pointed stars and decorative wedge-shaped ornaments alternating around the periphery. The legend ZANTA VIZEG is distributed in the outer field, referencing the Vyšehrad mint. The entire composition reflects the bold, simplified engraving technique characteristic of early Přemyslid coinage of the late tenth century.
