| Obverse description | A schematically rendered open hand depicted in high relief at center, enclosed within a plain raised circle. The surrounding border is ornamented with short radial lines or pellets radiating outward toward the irregular flan edge, forming a decorative frame characteristic of small medieval Baltic billon issues. The design is executed in a crude but intentional style consistent with mid-15th century episcopal coinage of Livonia. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Uniface bracteate reverse, presenting the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design — a characteristic feature of thin hammered bracteate coinage. The reverse shows the corresponding negative relief of the central hand motif and surrounding radial border, with no independent design, inscription, or identifying device. The flan exhibits the typical irregular outline and surface texture of small medieval billon bracteates. |
