| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized hand or ecclesiastical symbol enclosed within an oval or mandorla-shaped border, surmounted by a crescent or lunette motif at the top. The design is rendered in a primitive Romanesque style characteristic of early Bohemian coinage. A retrograde or partially legible Latin legend encircles the central device along the coin's periphery. The die-work is crude, consistent with hammered deniers of the late tenth century. The overall composition reflects the transitional influence of Ottonian and Carolingian monetary iconography on early Přemyslid coinage. |
