| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized hand or flame-like motif rises above a crescent or architectural base, flanked by the letters M and V in the field; the design is rendered in a bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of early Bohemian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading SOBESLAVS M V, with letters separated by crosses or pellets as word dividers. The overall composition is set within an irregularly shaped flan typical of late tenth-century Bohemian deniers. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a frontal facing bust is depicted in a schematic, early medieval style, with radiating lines above the head suggesting a crown or halo; a small cross appears to the left of the figure. The bust rests upon a crescent-shaped base, a design element frequently associated with Bohemian deniers of the Přemyslid and Slavník periods. The surrounding Latin legend PRAGA CIVITAS ('City of Prague') is distributed around the periphery, separated by crosses or pellets, affirming the Prague mint attribution. |
