| Obverse description | Bracteate uniface type struck on a thin silver flan with an irregular, slightly uneven rim. Within a raised inner circle, a crowned royal bust facing left, depicted with flowing hair rendered in bold relief. To the right of the bust, a schematically rendered heraldic eagle displayed, wings spread, facing right. The design is executed in the characteristic flat, high-relief hammered style of Moravian bracteate coinage of the late 13th century. No legend is present; the field beyond the inner border is plain. |
