| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a standing figure rendered in a crude Romanesque style, facing right, holding what appears to be a lance or staff in the right hand; the figure is dressed in robes with schematic drapery folds. A partial Latin legend runs along the outer border, partially legible due to the irregular flan and weak strike typical of Bohemian deniers of this period. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, two enthroned frontal figures are depicted side by side in a hieratic Romanesque style, each wearing robes with schematic drapery; between them rises a cross or sceptre. The composition likely represents the duke alongside a bishop or saint, a common devotional motif on Bohemian deniers of the early twelfth century. A partial Latin legend surrounds the design along the outer border, largely illegible due to the hammered technique and irregular flan. |
