| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of a mounted knight or bishop facing right, depicted in profile astride a horse rendered in a crude, archaic style characteristic of 12th-century Polish ecclesiastical coinage. The rider appears to carry an object, possibly a crozier or lance, held upright in the right hand. The design occupies the full field of the irregularly shaped flan, with no visible legend. The overall execution reflects the primitive die-cutting technique common to early medieval Polish deniers. |

| Reverse description | A stylised architectural facade, likely representing a church or cathedral portal, rendered in a schematic, flat manner typical of 12th-century Polish ecclesiastical deniers. The structure features a prominent arched gateway or doorway with flanking columns or pilasters, surmounted by a cross above the arch. A decorative element, possibly a globe or pellet, is visible within the arch. Flanking the building are crude letter-like or pseudo-inscription elements in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
