| Reverse description | Frontal enthroned figure similar in style to the obverse, depicted centrally on the irregular flan with arms raised or extended, wearing a crown and formal regalia. The image is rendered in a bold, schematic Romanesque manner consistent with Bohemian denier coinage of the twelfth century. The field is otherwise plain, with no surrounding legend or additional devices visible. |

| Additional information |
Vladislaus I received the royal title from Frederick Barbarossa in 1158 as a reward for military support during the siege of Milan — a transaction that temporarily elevated Bohemia from a duchy to a kingdom. The elevation was personal rather than hereditary, reverting on Vladislaus's abdication in 1172, which makes the entire royal coinage of this reign constitutionally anomalous within Bohemian numismatic history.
Cach 602 is among the rarer attributed types of the reign.
