| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Duke Borivoj II facing right, depicted in a schematic Romanesque style characteristic of early Bohemian medieval coinage. The bust is encircled by a beaded or linear inner ring, with a Latin legend running around the periphery of the flan. The portrait is rendered in a simplified, stylized manner typical of hammered deniers of this period, with the crown clearly distinguishable above the ruler's head. |

| Additional information |
Borivoj II held the Bohemian throne twice — expelled in 1107 by his brother Svatopluk with direct backing from Emperor Henry V, then briefly restored before his final removal in 1110. This denier falls squarely within that turbulent decade, and attributing it to a specific phase of his rule is effectively impossible without die study against Cach's broader sequence.
Cach 414 is among the less frequently encountered early Přemyslid deniers in commerce, partly because Borivoj's interrupted reigns meant shorter production windows than those of more stable contemporaries.
