| Reverse description | Two standing figures facing one another in a stylized Romanesque composition, likely depicting a ruler and a saint or bishop, each rendered in schematic linear style typical of early 12th-century Bohemian coinage. The figures are shown in high relief within a beaded border, with simplified drapery and symbolic attributes such as a lance or staff. A partial legend in Latin characters appears around the periphery of the coin, though it is largely illegible due to the irregular flan and die wear characteristic of hammered medieval issues. |

Vladislaus I's reign saw persistent tension with his brother Soběslav, who had been passed over for the duchy and was actively conspiring with Holy Roman Emperor Henry V against him. Coinage from this specific window — before Vladislaus was forced to abdicate in 1125 — was struck under those conditions of political instability, which likely disrupted mint continuity. Cach 547 is among the thinner-documented issues of the series, and surviving specimens are infrequently offered.
