| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Saint Wenceslas rendered in a stylized, hieratic manner within a beaded inner circle, the figure shown with radiating lines suggestive of a nimbus or halo, denoting his status as patron saint of Bohemia. A small cross is visible to the left of the bust, consistent with the saintly iconography of early Přemyslid coinage. The legend encircling the design identifies the depicted saint. The flan exhibits irregular edges and surface granularity typical of hammered silver deniers of the period. The artistic style reflects the early medieval workshop tradition of the Prague Mint under Duke Boleslaus II. |
