| Reverse description | Frontal crowned bust rendered in a bold, archaic Romanesque manner, centrally placed within a beaded inner circle. The figure is depicted with a stylized crown at the apex and schematic robed body, consistent with Bohemian deniers of the late eleventh century. A peripheral Latin legend, partially legible due to die wear and flan irregularities, encircles the central motif, with letters of large, crude module typical of the Brno workshop of the interregnum period. |

Struck during the two-year interregnum following the death of Conrad of Brno in 1092, this denier reflects the fractured state of Moravian political authority as the duchy passed through contested hands before Oldřich of Brno consolidated control. Moravian deniers of this period are among the most difficult to attribute with precision — Cach's sequencing remains the primary framework, though later scholarship has questioned several assignments in this range.
