| Obverse description | Facing bust of a ruler depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner, shown from the shoulders upward with a bearded face and wearing a helmet or crown. The figure is set within a crescent or lunate device below the bust, a common compositional element on Bohemian and Moravian deniers of this period. Surrounding the central device are scattered Carolingian-style letters and pellets arranged in the field, forming a degenerate or pseudo-legend characteristic of 11th–12th century hammered coinage. The overall style is archaic and bold, with strong relief typical of hand-hammered dies. |

| Additional information |
Ulrich (Oldřich) of Brno was a Přemyslid prince who controlled the Brno appanage during a period of near-constant dynastic conflict within Bohemia and Moravia. His coinage reflects the fractured political reality of the late 11th and early 12th centuries, when individual Přemyslid lords exercised enough autonomy to strike their own silver — a privilege that would later be consolidated under central ducal authority.
Cach 396 is among the scarcer attributions in the Přemyslid denier series. The type falls within a collecting category where genuine examples are routinely confused with later imitations.
