| Obverse description | Central field displays a bold cross pattée with flared terminals, flanked by four pellets positioned in each quarter. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend BOLESLAVS DVX is rendered in bold, somewhat irregular Latin characters distributed around the outer field, characteristic of early medieval Bohemian hammered coinage. The coin's flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of the hand-struck technique of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly stylised architectural motif interpreted as a schematic representation of a chapel or church facade, composed of a large central gable or triangular pediment supported by columns, with a cross finial at the apex and flanking cross ornaments. Below the architectural device, two horizontal bars and additional decorative elements fill the lower field. The surrounding legend PRAGA CIVITAS, identifying the city of Prague, is distributed in bold, irregular Latin capitals around the periphery of the flan, referencing the Prague mint. |
