| Obverse description | Crowned Polish eagle displayed in the central field, enclosed within a single beaded inner circle. The eagle's spread wings, body, and tail feathers are rendered in a crude, debased style characteristic of contemporary counterfeits, with irregular, shallow relief. A partial and largely illegible Latin legend runs in the outer field between the inner and outer borders. |

| Reverse description | A royal crown occupies the central field, depicted with multiple fleurs or points along the upper band and visible cross ornamentation on the circlet, all rendered in a rough, debased style consistent with a contemporary counterfeit struck from unofficial dies. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a partial, mostly illegible Latin legend in the outer field. The weak, irregular strike and uneven flan confirm the non-official nature of this piece. |
