| Reverse description | Central field depicts a seated or enthroned figure in profile facing left, holding what appears to be a lance or scepter, with a large crescent or horseshoe-shaped symbol dominating the lower field. A small globule is visible near the figure. Additional small symbols, possibly animals or heraldic devices, appear in the outer field flanking the central motif. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner ring, surrounded by the same characteristic alternating toothed outer border as seen on the obverse, consistent with Bohemian Romanesque denier coinage of the late 11th century. |

| Additional information |
Bretislaus II ruled Bohemia from 1092 until his assassination in 1100, and the Brno mint operated under his authority as part of the appanage system that divided Bohemian territories among Přemyslid princes. Cach 383 is among the scarcer attributions in the series — Brno's output during this period was modest, and the political fragmentation of the duchy meant production runs were short and inconsistently documented.
