| Obverse description | Central field featuring a cross pattée with a pellet in each quarter, enclosed within a plain inner circle. An outer beaded or dotted border frames the design, with degraded pseudo-legendary characters or ornamental devices arranged around the inner circle in the field. The style is characteristic of early Bohemian hammered coinage, with irregular flan and bold, slightly primitive die work. |

| Reverse description | Stylized chapel or church facade depicted in profile, rendered in a schematic, architecturally abstracted manner typical of Bohemian deniers of the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. The structure features a triangular roof or pediment above a colonnade with rounded arches, with three pellets or orbs arranged at the base of the building. The surrounding field contains degraded pseudo-legendary characters or ornamental symbols, with the entire design enclosed within a beaded border on an irregular hammered flan. |
