| Obverse description | Within a raised inner circle, a frontal bust of Duke Otto II, depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner wearing a helmet or crown, with simplified facial features characteristic of early medieval Bohemian coinage. The figure appears robed and is rendered in low relief with bold, schematic lines. The Latin legend OTTO DVX (Duke Otto) is distributed around the periphery of the coin, outside the inner circle, in retrograde or irregular arrangement typical of hammered Přemyslid deniers. |

| Reverse description | Within a raised inner circle, a enthroned frontal figure — likely a bishop or saint — depicted in Romanesque style, wearing liturgical vestments with vertical striations suggesting drapery folds. The figure holds a staff or banner in one hand, rendered in bold low relief with the flat, schematic aesthetic characteristic of early 12th-century Moravian hammered coinage. Partial letters or decorative elements appear in the fields outside the inner circle, though the legend is largely incomplete or off-flan due to the irregular striking of the flan. |
