| Obverse description | Central field bears a crowned interlaced monogram composed of the letters 'C' and a Gothic 'T', rendered in relief characteristic of bracteate hammered coinage. The monogram is enclosed within a raised inner circle, beyond which a peripheral Latin legend runs along the coin's circumference. The inscription terminates with the last two digits of the date, reading ANNO DOMINI : 51, referencing the full year 1651. The overall design exhibits the flat, single-die pressed style typical of late Silesian bracteate issues, with irregular flan edges and moderate die wear visible throughout the field. |
