The central image is framed by a beaded circle, with the surrounding field bearing fragmentary or partially legible Latin inscription remnants along the periphery. |

Vladislaus I secured the Bohemian dukedom in 1109 after years of dynastic infighting among the Přemyslid clan, and his coinage reflects a reign spent consolidating authority rather than expanding it. Cach 561 is among the earlier attributions in his series, placing this issue in the first half of the 1120s when Vladislaus was simultaneously managing pressure from the Holy Roman Empire and internal Bohemian opposition.
Deniers of this period were struck at Prague under conditions that produced considerable die variation across the series — Cach's numbering separates them primarily by reverse type.
