| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a stylized anthropomorphic figure, likely a seated or standing prince or warrior, rendered in the primitive linear style characteristic of medieval Pskovian coinage. The design is executed in low relief with irregular flan shape typical of hand-struck wire money production. The figure appears centrally placed within the field, with limbs and attributes suggested by simplified incuse strokes. Surface is dark and heavily oxidized, consistent with base silver alloy of the period. No legible legend is visible on this side. |

| Reverse description | Hammered field bearing a multi-line Cyrillic inscription occupying the majority of the flan, reading ДЕНГА ПСКОВСКАЯ, identifying this piece as a Denga of Pskov. The lettering is arranged in horizontal lines across the irregular flan in the characteristic blocky, archaic Cyrillic script associated with medieval Pskovian coin production. Characters are rendered in low relief with varying depth due to the hand-struck technique. The field is unadorned save for the inscription, with no border or decorative elements discernible. The overall execution is consistent with the crude wire-money tradition of the Pskov Republic during the 15th to early 16th century. |
