| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized frontal face or mask within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the crude Romanesque manner typical of Moravian bracteate-influenced deniers. Flanking the central medallion are two symmetrical architectural or figural elements, possibly stylized towers or attendant figures, rising above the central motif. The overall composition is bold and schematic, characteristic of early 13th-century Central European hammered coinage. No legible inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a rampant lion in profile facing left, executed in a dynamic yet archaic Romanesque style consistent with Moravian coinage of the early 13th century. A partial circular legend appears around the lion, reading partially as 'OTOCA' or similar, though the striking is irregular and the full inscription may be incomplete or partially off-flan. The lion's mane and musculature are rendered with characteristic medieval stylization. The field is unadorned, with the design filling the available flan. This heraldic lion device is closely associated with the Premyslid margraves of Moravia. |
