| Obverse description | Frontal facing bust of a bearded male figure, likely a prince or warrior saint, depicted in a primitive yet expressive hammered style characteristic of medieval Russian coinage. The figure wears a crown or helmet and holds a sword upright in the left hand, with additional indistinct attributes visible to the right, possibly a shield or scepter. The facial features are rendered with pronounced, deeply struck concentric circles for the eyes, giving the effigy a stylized, iconic quality. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production, resulting in uneven relief across the field. No legible inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged horizontally across the field, reading ДЕНГА ПСКОВСКАЯ, identifying the denomination and place of issue as the Denga of Pskov. The lettering is executed in a bold, archaic Cyrillic script typical of medieval Pskovian coinage, with individual characters exhibiting angular, monumental forms. A beaded or dotted inner border frames the inscription, partially visible along the upper and right periphery of the flan. The overall layout fills the available field without additional decorative devices. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered technique, with some letters weakly impressed due to flan irregularity. |
