| Obverse description | Central field featuring a stylized cross with globules or pellets in the angles, enclosed within a beaded or rope-like inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in degraded or retrograde Latin majuscules, encircles the design within the outer border. The die-cutting displays the characteristic crude, high-relief workmanship of early Bohemian hammered coinage, with letters partially blundered or ligatured as was common in tenth-century Přemyslid mint practice. |

| Reverse description | Central motif consisting of a prominent cross pattée or long cross with pellets or annulets filling the quadrants, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The outer legend, composed of partially legible or blundered Latin majuscules, runs around the periphery of the coin. The overall style reflects the influence of Carolingian and Ottonian denier types, adapted to early Přemyslid Bohemian coinage conventions of the late tenth century. |
