| Reverse description | A stylised architectural motif, interpreted as a schematic representation of a church or chapel façade, occupies the central field; the structure features a triangular gabled roof above a rectangular body with a doorway, all rendered in the boldly simplified, abstract manner typical of Přemyslid deniers. The central device is surrounded by a Latin legend of partially legible characters arranged around the periphery, with the inscription running between the inner field and the irregular hammered edge. The execution is consistent with early eleventh-century Bohemian mint practice as catalogued under Cach. |

| Additional information |
Jaromír ruled Bohemia three separate times — an unusual political fact for the period — each reign interrupted by the machinations of his brother Oldřich and the pressures of Polish occupation under Bolesław I Chrobry, who held Bohemia briefly around 1003–1004. Coinage attribution across Jaromír's fragmented reigns remains genuinely difficult, and Cach 237 sits in a contested zone where die evidence and political chronology do not always align neatly.
The denier series of early Bohemia was heavily influenced by Bavarian and Saxon prototypes arriving through trade and political alliance rather than any indigenous minting tradition.
