| Obverse description | Central device depicts a royal crown rendered in relief within a beaded inner circle. The crown is shown frontally with three visible points and decorative ornamentation typical of Bohemian medieval coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the inner circle, reading the royal titulature of Wenceslaus II. The overall style reflects the crude but bold hand-struck artistry characteristic of late 13th to early 14th century Bohemian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the rampant Bohemian lion passant, depicted with characteristic curled tail and double tail motif, set within a beaded inner circle. The lion is rendered in the bold, stylised manner typical of Přemyslid-era Bohemian coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the inner circle, identifying the coin as a Prague Parvus. The field is irregular due to the hand-struck hammered technique employed at the Prague mint. |
