| Obverse description | Central device consisting of a large royal crown rendered in relief, surmounted by a cross pattée atop the crown's central finial. The crown features a beaded base band and three visible fleuron-tipped points, conveying regal authority in the Romanesque style. The field is plain and irregular, characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. The flan is notably irregular at the edges, consistent with hand-cut planchets of early 13th-century Bohemian minting practice. |

| Reverse description | Stylized frontal face or mask, depicted schematically with beaded or pellet eyes and a horizontal bar suggesting a brow or crown band, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design is rendered in a highly abstracted, Romanesque manner typical of early medieval Bohemian bracteate-influenced deniers. The surrounding field shows a beaded or toothed border. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the hand-hammered production technique of the period. |
