| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a frontal enthroned figure rendered in Romanesque style, identified as the duke or a bishop, depicted wearing robes with drapery folds indicated by incised lines; the figure holds a staff or sceptre in the right hand and appears to hold an additional attribute at left. Flanking the central figure are two smaller attendant figures or architectural elements, with scattered pellets visible in the field. The composition is typical of early twelfth-century Bohemian bracteate-influenced deniers, emphasizing hierarchical scale and formal frontality. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus I consolidated ducal authority during a period of persistent dynastic infighting among the Přemyslid branches, and his coinages reflect the administrative pressure to assert legitimate rule through circulating currency. Cach 556 is among the scarcer attributions in this reign, with die links to a small number of known surviving specimens suggesting limited production from a single workshop.
