| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized human or animal figure enclosed within a circular inner border, rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic hammered style characteristic of late 13th-century Bulgarian imitative coinage. A Greek legend in large, irregular characters encircles the central motif between the inner circle and the outer beaded border. The legends and figures are crudely executed, reflecting the local workshop's adaptation of Byzantine and Mongol monetary conventions. The entire design is contained within a prominent dotted border running along the coin's irregular periphery. |
