| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a crowned ruler depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner, shown from the waist upward within an inner circle. The figure wears a crown with trilobed projections and appears robed, with arms rendered in a schematic fashion typical of 12th-century Bohemian deniers. The field is heavily worn and shows surface corrosion consistent with an excavated specimen. No legible legend is discernible on this example. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus I ruled Bohemia as duke before Frederick Barbarossa elevated him to king in 1158 — a reward for military support during the Italian campaigns, specifically the siege of Milan. The royal title was personal, not hereditary, which lent his reign a provisional quality that is reflected in the uneven output of his mints. Cach 606 is among the more elusive attributions in the Bohemian denier sequence, with surviving examples thin enough that die studies remain incomplete.
