| Reverse description | The reverse displays a prominent triangular architectural or decorative motif occupying the central field, interpreted as a stylized chapel or temple facade, consisting of a triangle set above a horizontal bar with a crescent or lunette below, rendered in bold relief. The surrounding legend, in retrograde or irregular Latin characters, encircles the central device between a beaded inner ring and the coin's outer edge. The design is executed in the rough, vigorous style typical of Přemyslid Bohemian deniers of the early medieval period. |

| Additional information |
Jaromír ruled Bohemia three times — each reign interrupted by his brother Boleslav III or the intervening Polish occupation under Bolesław I Chrobry, who held Bohemia from 1003 to 1004. The coinage attributed to Jaromír's periods of rule is consequently thin and difficult to sequence with certainty, and Cach 242 sits within a typological group that numismatists have debated reassigning more than once.
Bohemian deniers of this period were struck at Prague and drew heavily on Ottonian models, reflecting the duchy's position within the Holy Roman Empire's monetary orbit.
