| Reverse description | Central field features a schematic frontal face or mask, rendered in a highly stylized Romanesque manner with prominent eyes, nose, and mouth, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. Small cross pattee appears above the face, with additional decorative elements flanking the central motif. The legend BRNENSIS is distributed around the outer margin, referencing the mint city of Brno. The flat, abstracted treatment of the facial motif is consistent with Moravian denier coinage of the second half of the 11th century. |

| Additional information |
Conrad I ruled Brno as a Přemyslid appanage prince under the shifting authority of the Bohemian duke, a political arrangement that made coin-issuing rights a constant point of friction between regional lords and Prague. His deniers are among the earliest attributable issues from the Brno mint, and Cach 365 sits in a series where die-cutting quality varies considerably — not from carelessness, but from the practical limits of provincial workshops operating far from the main Bohemian minting centers at Hradec and Prague.
