The effigy is rendered in low relief with stylized facial features and schematic drapery lines typical of early eleventh-century Bohemian die engraving. A circular Latin legend in retrograde or irregular characters runs around the beaded inner circle within the outer border. |

| Additional information |
Jaromír ruled Bohemia three times — deposed twice, blinded by his own brother Boleslav III, and ultimately murdered in 1035, the year after this issue ends. His reign was defined less by governance than by the dynastic violence tearing the Přemyslid family apart, with Polish forces under Bolesław I occupying Bohemia entirely between 1003 and 1004. Coinage attributed to him is accordingly sparse and poorly documented, and Cach's attribution rests on stylistic groupings rather than any surviving mint records.
