| Reverse description | Central field features a facing bust, likely a stylized representation of the duke or a bishop, shown with a crowned or mitred head and schematic facial features rendered in primitive Romanesque relief. Flanking the bust are partial letters or decorative elements, partially legible as an abbreviated inscription, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of early twelfth-century Bohemian bracteate-influenced denier coinage under Vladislaus I. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus I ruled Bohemia as duke under constant pressure from rival Přemyslid claimants, and his coinage reflects a minting operation that was never fully stable. The Cach 560 denier belongs to a sequence of issues whose attribution to specific regnal years remains contested among Czech numismatists, with the 1120–1125 window representing scholarly consensus rather than documented mint records.
Bohemian deniers of this period were struck at Prague and circulated primarily as instruments of ducal fiscal control rather than wide trade currency. Die workmanship across the Vladislaus I series varies considerably, and Cach 560 sits toward the middle of the sequence in terms of die quality.
