| Obverse description | Central field depicts a frontal standing figure, likely a saint or ecclesiastical personage, robed and holding attributes, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend surrounds the central motif along the outer border of the coin, partially legible due to the irregular flan and characteristic striking weakness of hammered medieval coinage. The style is typical of late 10th-century Bohemian deniers, showing strong Carolingian-inspired iconographic influence. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized architectural structure, interpreted as a church or temple facade with a triangular pediment and horizontal lines below, rendered in a schematic, flat manner typical of Bohemian hammered deniers of the Přemyslid period. The letter 'B' and further characters are inscribed within the architectural frame, likely referencing the ruler's name Boleslaus. A fragmented Latin legend encircles the design along the outer border, set between beaded or pellet-decorated margins. |
