Obverse description Central device consisting of a stylized hand or comb-like motif enclosed within a circular inner border, rendered in low relief characteristic of early Bohemian hammered coinage. The surrounding field bears a partial Latin legend reading BOLESLAUS, disposed around the periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with typical die-struck unevenness of late 10th-century Premyslid issues. A suspension hole is pierced near the upper edge, indicating secondary use as a pendant. The overall style reflects the influence of Ottonian and Carolingian denier types on early Bohemian numismatic production.
