| Obverse description | Central field dominated by two confronted busts or heraldic eagle heads separated by a vertical line, rendered in a crude but bold hammered style characteristic of 13th-century Moravian bracteate-influenced deniers. The design fills the flan, with the figures occupying the full diameter of the coin. No legible legend is present. The irregular flan edge and uneven relief are consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | A stylized rampant lion passant or heraldic beast occupies the central field, executed in the bold, schematic style typical of Přemyslid Moravian coinage of the mid-13th century. The creature is depicted with a crowned or crested head, raised forepaws, and a curling tail, all rendered in high relief against a flat, unadorned field. A plain beaded or rope border encircles the design near the coin's periphery. No inscription or legend is present. The flan is irregular, reflecting the hand-hammered technique of the period. |
