| Obverse description | Enthroned frontal figure, presumably the ruler Vladislaus II, depicted in Romanesque style within a beaded inner circle. The figure is shown seated in majesty, robed, with arms extended and holding regalia. The relief is bold and characteristic of mid-12th-century Bohemian hammered coinage. The field surrounding the enthroned effigy shows traces of a marginal legend, largely illegible due to the irregular flan. The overall composition reflects the hierarchical frontal portraiture common to contemporary Central European deniers. |

| Reverse description | Two facing figures depicted in Romanesque style, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The left figure, crowned and wearing episcopal or royal robes, holds a crozier or sceptre, while the right figure appears similarly attired, creating a paired presentation typical of Bohemian deniers of this period. The drapery is rendered in stylised linear folds characteristic of 12th-century die-cutting. Traces of a peripheral Latin legend are visible along the outer margin of the irregular flan, though largely off-flan or worn. The composition is bold and well-centred relative to the flan. |
