Reverse description The reverse presents a faithful, high-relief reproduction of a medieval bracteate of Mieszko III the Elder (Mieszko Stary), depicted as a raised coin image positioned centrally and slightly to the right within the field. The bracteate shows a stylised figure surrounded by an inscription in archaic lettering within a beaded border, conveying the appearance of the original thin silver medieval striking. To the left of the bracteate, a decorative panel features intricate Romanesque interlace and foliate ornamental motifs engraved in the mirrored field. The curved legend 'BRAKTEAT MIESZKA III STAREGO' is arranged along the right and lower perimeter of the coin in block lettering.
