| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned Bohemian lion passant, rendered in a schematic, late-medieval style typical of hammered small coinage. The crown appears prominently above the lion's body, with the figure occupying nearly the entire flan. No peripheral legend is present, consistent with the diminutive module of the denomination. The strike is characteristic of the period, with irregular flan edges and moderate relief. The overall design is bold and simplified to suit the small 12 mm diameter of the heller. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially blank or featureless, presenting a flat, unworked field with no discernible design, legend, or device. This uniface-style treatment is consistent with the production method of Bohemian hellers of this era, where only the obverse die was engraved and the reverse received only the impression of the anvil or a plain punch. Surface shows natural metal flow and die characteristics typical of hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
