| Obverse description | A seated episcopal figure depicted in a highly stylized, primitive manner occupies the central field, shown frontally enthroned between two columns or pillar-like supports, holding what appears to be a crozier or staff in the right hand. The design is characteristic of early medieval bracteate-influenced deniers with crude but expressive engraving typical of 13th-century Polish ecclesiastical coinage. A beaded inner circle borders the central device. A Latin legend reading 'IWO' is distributed around the periphery of the coin, referring to Bishop Iwo Odrowąż. The overall style reflects the rudimentary die-cutting techniques of the Kraków mint in the early 13th century. |

| Reverse description | This coin is a one-sided issue (uniface), with no reverse design or inscription struck. The reverse face is blank and plain, consistent with the bracteate or semi-bracteate tradition of thin hammered ecclesiastical deniers produced in medieval Poland during the early 13th century. |
