| Reverse description | A stylized equestrian figure or rider depicted in motion within a beaded inner circle, rendered in a crude but expressive Romanesque style characteristic of Přemyslid Moravian coinage. The horse and rider fill the central field, with peripheral annular border elements visible around the design. No inscription is present, the field being dominated entirely by the figural motif. |

| Additional information |
Přemysl of Moravia, the issuing margrave, was a younger son of Přemysl Otakar I of Bohemia and spent much of his tenure navigating the competing pressures of his brother Wenceslaus I and the Bohemian crown. The Moravian deniers of this period were struck at a time when the margraviate maintained its own mint rights as a semi-autonomous appanage, a privilege that would progressively erode under Bohemian centralization through the later thirteenth century.
Cach 894 is among the scarcer attributions in this reign grouping.
