| Reverse description | A mounted knight or margrave shown in profile to the right, depicted on horseback in a dynamic pose typical of Bohemian-Moravian medieval coinage. The rider appears armed and the horse is shown in a trotting stance. The design is executed in the Romanesque hammered tradition with bold, stylized relief. A second smaller figure or head appears to the left of the horse. No surrounding legend is present; the design fills the irregular flan. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus Henry ruled Moravia as margrave under the constant gravitational pull of Bohemian dynastic politics — he was, after all, a Přemyslid, and the border between autonomy and subordination shifted constantly throughout his tenure. His coinage reflects a period when Moravian mints operated with genuine independence, producing issues distinct from Bohemian deniers rather than simply imitating Prague output.
Cach 887 is among the later attributions in his series, and the precise mint is unresolved in the literature.
