| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized sword oriented vertically with a foot motif above the hilt and a small cross below the blade, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin characters reads + VOCZVOVC, distributed around the periphery. The design is rendered in the rough, bold relief characteristic of Bohemian hammered coinage of the late tenth century. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a schematic representation of a temple or church facade with a triangular gable, beneath which three crescents are arranged in a row, with additional architectural elements suggesting columns or a structured base. A small cross surmounts the apex of the gable. The surrounding Latin legend reads + OTAEVOS, distributed around the beaded inner circle. The style reflects the Carolingian-influenced ecclesiastical iconography common to Bohemian deniers of the Přemyslid period. |
