| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized architectural structure resembling a church or chapel façade, rendered in a primitive Romanesque manner typical of Bohemian deniers of this period. A long cross with a globus or finial rises above the structure to the left, while the building features a domed or tiered roofline with a crescent or ornamental element at its apex. A partially legible Latin legend in degraded characters surrounds the design in the outer field. |

| Additional information |
Luitpold ruled Znojmo as an appanage prince under the Přemyslid system, which parceled Moravia into junior duchies for cadet family members — a arrangement that produced a remarkable proliferation of locally distinctive coinage in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries. Znojmo's issues from this period are among the thinner, more crudely produced deniers of the Moravian series, reflecting a regional mint operating without the resources of the Bohemian royal workshops at Prague.
Cach 410 sits at the less common end of Luitpold's surviving types.
