| Obverse description | Facing bust of a ruler or ecclesiastical figure depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner, centrally positioned within the field. The figure appears enthroned or standing, rendered in low relief typical of Bohemian hammered coinage of the early twelfth century. The design is executed in a crude but expressive style consistent with the Přemyslid minting tradition. A fragmentary Latin legend surrounds the central device, partially legible around the coin's irregular periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central facing figure, likely a seated ruler or saint, depicted in a frontal Romanesque style with arms extended or holding symbolic attributes, characteristic of Bohemian deniers of the Sobeslaus I period. The figure is rendered in shallow relief with simplified facial features and drapery lines typical of early twelfth-century Central European die-cutting. Flanking elements or attendant figures may appear to either side. A partial Latin legend encircles the design along the irregular coin edge. |
