| Obverse description | Bust of a bishop or saint facing right, depicted within a crescent-shaped frame composed of beaded borders, holding a patriarchal cross in the right hand. The figure is shown in a stylized Romanesque manner with schematic drapery folds. The field around the central motif is plain, and the coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan of hammered medieval bracteate-style deniers. No legend is visible on this side. |

| Reverse description | Armored warrior or duke figure depicted in a dynamic stance, facing left, wearing a helmet and holding a spear or lance in one hand and a shield in the other. The figural style is characteristic of Bohemian Romanesque coinage of the early twelfth century, with bold, schematic rendering of the subject. The warrior stands within a plain circular field bounded by the irregular hammered flan edge. No inscriptional legend is present on this face. |
