| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized frontal bust or architectural motif flanked by the letters Y and B (or similar characters), enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A cross or decorative element appears above the central device. The surrounding legend in Latin runs along the outer rim within a beaded border, executed in the crude, irregular style characteristic of early Bohemian hammered coinage of the late tenth century. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattee divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a pellet, forming a classic cross-and-pellets design. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a continuous Latin legend running along the outer border. The die engraving reflects the rustic, hand-crafted quality typical of Bohemian deniers of the Premyslid period, with irregular letter spacing and a slightly concave flan. |
