| Reverse description | An armed equestrian figure depicted in a schematic Romanesque style, shown in profile moving to the left, with a raised weapon and what appears to be a shield or lance. A cross or ornamental device is visible above the rider. The field contains additional decorative or heraldic elements rendered in a crude but stylized fashion. The entire design is surrounded by a beaded or toothed border consistent with hammered Bohemian deniers of the period. |

| Additional information |
Cach 507 falls within the broad coinage attributed to the Přemyslid appanage rulers of Brno, a secondary seat of power within Moravia during a period when the duchy changed hands repeatedly through dynastic partition. Identifying the specific issuer within this range has defeated generations of Czech numismatists — the die-cutting workshops serving these minor courts left almost no documentary trail, and attribution relies almost entirely on stylistic comparison across a handful of surviving specimens.
