| Obverse description | Plain concave field displaying a simple cross at center, enclosed within a raised circular border. The design is characteristically sparse, with no legend or additional ornamental elements, consistent with the anonymous bracteate coinage of Reval of this period. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of hammered bracteate production. The cross arms extend nearly to the inner border, dividing the field into four equal quadrants. |

| Reverse description | Uniface bracteate; the reverse presents a convex, blank field with no design, bearing only the incuse mirror impression of the obverse cross and border as a result of the single-die striking technique. The surface shows the natural concavity and patination typical of medieval billon bracteates struck in the Baltic region. |
