| Reverse description | The reverse displays a prominent triangular motif at the top of the field, likely a stylized architectural element or gable, above a rectangular structure composed of horizontal lines and cross-hatched panels, interpreted as an altar or church facade in the tradition of Ottonian-influenced Bohemian ecclesiastical coinage. Surrounding the central design is a partial Latin legend disposed around the field in the characteristic irregular letter arrangement of early Premyslid deniers. The entire composition is struck in high relief with characteristic die irregularities consistent with hand-hammered production of the late 10th century. |
