| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, two facing figures seated side by side, likely representing the duke and a consort or saint, rendered in a crude Romanesque style typical of Bohemian bracteate-influenced deniers. The figures are depicted frontally with stylized drapery and raised arms. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle within the coin's field. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus I held the Bohemian throne during a period of chronic dynastic instability — the Přemyslid succession was governed not by primogeniture but by seniority within the clan, a system that produced near-constant conflict among competing kinsmen. His reign itself was interrupted; he was expelled in 1107 before returning to power, and the narrow dating of this issue reflects exactly that fractured chronology. Cach 543 is among the scarcer attributed deniers of the period, with surviving examples frequently showing the characteristic weak peripheral definition common to Bohemian bracteate-adjacent dies of the early twelfth century.
