| Obverse description | Central field depicts an armored equestrian figure — likely a duke or prince — mounted on a horse facing right, rendered in low relief within a beaded inner circle. The rider is shown with raised arm in a commanding posture, characteristic of Bohemian ducal coinage of the early twelfth century. The surrounding field between the beaded circle and the irregular flan edge bears fragmentary Latin legend. The style is typical of the primitive Romanesque die-cutting tradition of the Přemyslid mints. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a frontal bust of a ruler or ecclesiastical figure, helmeted or crowned, holding a spear or scepter in the right hand, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The figure is rendered schematically in the Romanesque style characteristic of early twelfth-century Bohemian bracteate-influenced deniers. Fragmentary Latin legend is visible around the beaded border, partially legible on the irregular hammered flan. The flat, worn field surrounding the inner circle retains traces of additional decorative or epigraphic elements. |
