| Obverse description | Facing stylized bust of the ruler within a beaded inner circle, depicted in a highly schematic Romanesque manner. The effigy features a prominent crown or diadem rendered with pellets and a cross motif atop the head, flanked by scroll-like hair or drapery elements. The face is rendered schematically with a central orb or pellet for the eye. A legend in debased Latin characters surrounds the central design between the beaded inner circle and the irregular coin periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central long cross with ornate crosslets or floral terminals in each angle, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The quadrants formed by the cross arms each contain a small decorative cross or trefoil motif, consistent with Bohemian-Moravian denier typology of the early 11th century. A surrounding legend in debased Latin characters occupies the outer field between the beaded circle and the irregular hammered rim. |
