| Obverse description | Facing bust of a ruler rendered in a crude, archaic style characteristic of Moravian deniers of the early twelfth century. The effigy displays large schematic eyes, a broad nose, and a stylized crown or headdress above the head. The bust is surrounded by scattered pellets in the field, with a partial curved line or arc below the neck serving as a border element. No legible legend is present, consistent with the anonymous coinage of this period. The overall relief is low and the flan irregular, typical of hammered medieval Bohemian-Moravian issues. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a plain cross with elongated vertical shaft, rendered in low relief on a broad, nearly flat flan. The cross arms are simple and unadorned, with no apparent pellets or decorative terminals. A faint curved arc or partial border encircles the design, though it is incomplete due to the irregular flan shape. The field is largely plain and unlettered, consistent with the aniconic reverse types found on anonymous Moravian deniers of the first half of the twelfth century. Die alignment and striking are typical of hand-hammered provincial coinage of this era. |
