| Obverse description | A dove facing right occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of early Russian local coinage. The bird is depicted with stylized wing feathers indicated by incised lines. A border of raised pellets encircles the upper and right portions of the design, framing the central motif. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hand-cut hammered silver planchets of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Cyrillic inscription in large, bold letters filling the field, executed in the crude but vigorous style typical of Torzhok municipal coinage of the first half of the 15th century. The lettering, partially legible as a two-line arrangement, is characteristic of the city name or civic attribution formula used on local Russian dengas of this period. The irregular flan results in portions of the legend falling near or beyond the coin's edge. |
