| Obverse description | Central field displays a spearhead surmounted by a Byzantine-style cross, rendered in low relief against a plain, unadorned field. The design is characteristic of the dynastic seal imagery employed by Grand Duchy of Lithuania rulers in the 14th century. The Cyrillic legend ПЕЧАТЬ (meaning 'Duke's seal') appears around or adjacent to the central device. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hammered medieval coinage of this period. Strike quality is typical of Lithuanian deniers, with uneven metal flow and variable depth of relief. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a Cyrillic inscription reading ПЕЧАТЬ, rendered in angular, somewhat archaic letterforms characteristic of 14th-century Lithuanian coinage. The legend appears in several documented variants across this type, with some examples exhibiting mirrored or retrograde lettering, reflecting the inconsistent die-cutting practices of the period. The relief is low and the strike uneven, typical of hammered small silver denominations. The irregular flan and variable alignment further attest to the artisanal nature of production. No additional decorative elements or border devices are present. |
