| Reverse description | The reverse displays two confronted figures rendered in the Romanesque style, likely representing a secular and ecclesiastical authority or two standing personages facing one another in a formal composition. The figures are depicted in flowing robes with simplified facial features, separated by a vertical element possibly representing a staff or cross. A beaded inner border frames the central scene, with additional linear detailing in the field. The design is characteristic of early 12th-century Bohemian deniers attributed to the Přemyslid workshop, with the flan showing typical hammered irregularity. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus I ruled Bohemia as duke under chronic pressure from rival Přemyslid claimants, and coinage from his reign reflects the administrative instability of the period — dies were cut inconsistently, and attribution within the series remained disputed among Czech numismatists well into the twentieth century before Cach's systematic cataloguing brought order to the classification. Cach 559 sits in a particularly contested stretch of the sequence.
