| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized frontal bust or figure, rendered in the crude hammered style characteristic of early medieval Moravian deniers. A cross or sceptre-like element extends downward from the figure, and concentric incuse lines frame the central motif, suggesting a beaded or linear inner border. The overall design is heavily worn and struck on an irregular planchet, with details softened by circulation. No legible legend is apparent on this side. |

VP#239 falls within a contested period of Moravian political fragmentation, when the margraviate was divided among competing Přemyslid princes who struck deniers with overlapping and often indistinguishable iconographic programs. Attributing specific issues to individual rulers from this decade remains unresolved — Vojtěch Pokorný's classification system itself acknowledges the ambiguity by grouping several types under collective or uncertain headings.
The "unified" designation likely reflects administrative rather than dynastic consolidation, possibly tied to periods when a single Přemyslid held nominal seniority over Moravia's appanage territories before the succession disputes of the 1140s intensified.
