| Obverse description | Facing bust of Duke Vratislaus II depicted in a primitive Romanesque style, wearing a helmet with a nasal guard and a crossbar, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The face is rendered schematically with stylized features typical of 11th-century Bohemian coinage. Surrounding the central motif, fragmented Latin letters are arranged around the periphery in an irregular sequence, interspersed with decorative elements along the toothed border. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust rendered in a schematic, archaic style within a beaded or rope-pattern inner circle, depicting a frontal face with rudimentary features consistent with Romanesque die-cutting conventions of the Premyslid period. The surrounding field contains fragmentary Latin characters distributed irregularly around the periphery, separated by decorative motifs. The outer border is defined by a crenellated or toothed edge, characteristic of Bohemian deniers of the late 11th century. |
