| Obverse description | Facing helmeted head of a duke rendered in a crude, medieval style, depicted with a great helm surmounted by three coronet-like crests or plumes. The face is shown frontally with minimal stylization typical of early 14th-century Silesian coinage. A beaded inner border surrounds the central device, with a fragmentary Latin legend distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A pointed shield bearing the Silesian Piast eagle, displayed with wings spread and a crescent or breast-shield ornament on its chest, set within a beaded inner circle. The eagle is rendered in the characteristic flat, angular style of hammered Silesian half-groschen of the period. A partial Latin legend runs around the circumference of the flan, identifying the issuing dukes, though frequently incomplete due to the irregular striking of the flan. |
