| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a cross pattée enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a stylized foliate or trefoil ornament in the upper-left quadrant and pellets in the remaining quadrants. The cross arms are broad and slightly wedge-shaped, characteristic of Bohemian hammered coinage of the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. A Latin legend runs around the periphery, partially legible due to the irregular flan and die wear. The overall design reflects the Ottonian influence prevalent in contemporary Central European deniers. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an architectural or ecclesiastical motif, rendered in the primitive style typical of early Bohemian deniers, featuring what appears to be a stylized church facade or triangular pediment above a rectangular structure with a small cross at its base. The design is rendered in high relief with bold, schematic lines. A partially legible Latin legend encircles the design along the coin's periphery, largely obscured by the uneven flan edges and striking irregularities. The composition reflects the strong ecclesiastical imagery associated with the Prague Mint output under Duke Boleslaus III. |
