| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized hand or sceptre motif rendered in crude hammered style, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The circular legend reads DUX BOLESLAV, identifying the issuer as Duke Boleslaus, with Latin letters arranged around the periphery. The lettering is characteristic of Bohemian early medieval coinage, with uneven spacing and archaic letterforms typical of late tenth-century minting practice. The overall design is enclosed within a plain outer border. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized architectural motif resembling a church facade or temple structure with a triangular pediment and vertical divisions, rendered in bold, geometric hammered relief. A cross surmounts the pediment, reinforcing the Christian iconographic programme common to Bohemian Přemyslid coinage of this period. The surrounding circular legend contains Latin letters arranged around the periphery with characteristic early medieval letterforms. The design is enclosed within a beaded or plain border, with the crude execution typical of hammered deniers of the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. |
