| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized architectural motif, likely a chapel or tower with arched openings, rendered in a primitive Romanesque manner characteristic of Bohemian deniers of this period. A cross is positioned to the left of the central device. Surrounding the design is a beaded inner circle, with a toothed or serrated outer border. Scattered letter-like elements appear in the four quadrants of the field, forming a partial or degenerate Latin legend. |

| Additional information |
Luitpold ruled Znojmo as an appanage prince under the Přemyslid system, which parceled Moravia into junior duchies assigned to cadet branches of the dynasty. His coinage at Znojmo is among the earliest attributable to that mint with any confidence, and Cach's numbering reflects just how thin the documentary record is for Moravian deniers of this generation — many attributions rest on stylistic grouping rather than firm archival evidence.
VP#95 cross-references a small corpus of die-linked pieces that help anchor the Znojmo attribution.
