| Descripción del anverso | Two figures facing one another in the field, separated by a vertical lance or staff held centrally between them. The left figure, interpreted as the duke Boleslaus III, is depicted in a frontal stance holding a weapon or sceptre, with a cross motif visible above. The right figure, likely representing Saint Adalbert, appears in ecclesiastical attire with a stylised head rendered in pellet-work typical of early medieval Polish coinage. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the whole design executed in the crude but expressive hammered style characteristic of Piast dynasty bracteate-related coinage. |

| Descripción del reverso | A stylised frontal face or mask rendered in bold relief at the centre of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Radiating from the central roundel are four foliate or branch-like extensions arranged in a cross pattern, reaching toward the coin's edge and interspersed with additional decorative elements. The border of the coin shows the characteristic irregular flan edge of hammered medieval silver coinage. The overall design is consistent with Romanesque artistic conventions common to early twelfth-century Polish deniers, with the legend ADALBIBCVS (a garbled form of ADALBERTUS, referring to Saint Adalbert, patron saint of Poland) distributed in the outer field around the central motif. |

Boleslaus III earned his epithet the hard way — his reign was defined almost entirely by military conflict, including the brutal campaign that finally recaptured Pomerania for Poland in 1119-1122. These deniers were struck to fund a kingdom perpetually at war. The Kraków mint operated under chronic silver shortages throughout this period, which accounts for the notably low weight standard relative to contemporary Western European issues.
Upon his death in 1138, Boleslaus III's Testament partitioned Poland among his sons, fracturing the kingdom into competing principalities for nearly two centuries.
