| Obverse description | Crude, heavily stylized design featuring a radiate or sunburst pattern of incuse lines radiating from a central point, filling the entire field. The design appears to be a barbaric imitation of a Roman imperial radiate crown motif, rendered in a highly abstracted, primitive style characteristic of Gothic coinage on the Taman Peninsula. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the design occupying most of the available surface. No legible legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays a crude, schematic design comprising a central cross or cruciform element flanked by simplified, abstracted figures or symbols, possibly a stylized horse or animal and a geometric motif. The design is deeply struck in a barbaric imitative style, with bold incuse lines delineating the principal elements. The field is flat and uneven, typical of hammered billon issues of Gothic origin. No legible inscription or legend is present. |
