| Obverse description | Armored knight on horseback facing right, depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of Moravian deniers of the early 13th century. The rider is shown in profile with raised arm, mounted on a prancing horse with details of mane and legs rendered in bold relief. The field is plain, and the flan is irregular, typical of hammered coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
Přemysl of Moravia, the issuing margrave, was a younger son of King Přemysl Otakar I of Bohemia, granted the Moravian margraviate as part of the Přemyslid dynasty's strategy for managing its territorial holdings without fracturing royal succession. His tenure coincided with the consolidation of Moravian administrative structures under Bohemian overlordship, and his coinage reflects a regional mint operating within that dependent framework. Cach 890 is among the scarcer documented Moravian denier types from this period — the thin fabric characteristic of Bohemian-influenced deniers makes survivors prone to cracking, which accounts for the relative difficulty in locating problem-free examples.
