| Obverse description | Armored equestrian figure facing right, depicted in dynamic gallop, holding a lance or spear in the right hand. The rider wears a helmet and is shown in profile. The central design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with scattered symbols and pellets distributed across the outer field. The irregular flan and bold, primitive relief are characteristic of Bohemian hammered coinage of the early twelfth century. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bust of a haloed ecclesiastical or princely figure, depicted facing forward with both arms raised in an orant or blessing posture, holding what appears to be a scepter or cross in the left hand. The figure is rendered in a Romanesque hieratic style within a beaded inner circle. Scattered letters and symbols appear in the outer field around the border. The style is consistent with Bohemian deniers attributable to the reign of Borivoj II. |
