| Obverse description | Central field features a plain cross with a globule at its center, dividing the coin into four quadrants. The cross extends nearly to the beaded inner border, within which a circular legend in Latin characters runs around the periphery. The overall style is characteristic of early Bohemian hammered coinage, with irregular flan and somewhat crude but bold engraving typical of the mid-tenth century. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylized architectural motif, interpreted as a church facade or temple front with a triangular pediment, rendered in a highly schematic manner. Below the structure appears the inscription 'DNO' or a variant thereof within the field. The surrounding legend in Latin characters encircles the design within a beaded border, consistent with Bohemian deniers of the Přemyslid period. The engraving is bold and primitive, characteristic of tenth-century Central European hammered silver coinage. |
