| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized seated or crouching figure, likely a ruler or warrior, depicted in a crude but characteristic Romanesque style typical of Bohemian-Moravian deniers of the early twelfth century. The figure appears to hold a lance or scepter diagonally across the body. The design is enclosed within a beaded or rope-like inner circle border. The legend OTTO DVX runs around the periphery in Latin characters, identifying the issuer as Duke Otto. The flan is irregular with typical hammered fabric and minor edge chipping. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a mounted horseman or equestrian figure facing right, rendered in the primitive Romanesque style characteristic of Moravian deniers of the period. The rider appears astride a horse, with a lance or staff held upright, enclosed within a beaded or rope inner circle. Fragmentary lettering is visible around the periphery, though heavily worn and partially illegible on this specimen. The flan is irregular and shows typical hammered production with edge cracks consistent with the coinage of the Olomouc duchy in the early twelfth century. |
