| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized bird figure, likely a fantastical or heraldic fowl, rendered in the characteristic crude hammered style of medieval Russian principality coinage. The figure is surrounded by a Cyrillic marginal legend disposed around the inner border of the flan. The design is set within an irregular, roughly oval flan with a beaded or linear border partially visible. The overall execution is typical of the small wire-money tradition of 15th-century Yaroslavl coinage, with bold if somewhat asymmetric die engraving. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a plain or lightly decorated field with traces of a concentric border or inner circle, likely the result of die pressure during hammering. The surface shows the characteristic flow lines and irregular relief of medieval Russian hammered silver coinage. No figurative design is clearly distinguishable, consistent with many dengas of the Yaroslavl principality where the reverse served as a simple counter-die. The flan edges are uneven, characteristic of wire-cut planchets of this period. |
