| Obverse description | Facing stylized bust of the ruler within a raised inner circle, rendered in the primitive Romanesque manner characteristic of early Polish coinage. The head is depicted en face with schematic facial features and flanked by pellets arranged symmetrically around the crown of the head, suggesting a diadem or crown. Radiating spear- or arrow-like symbols project outward from the inner circle into the surrounding field, interspersed with fragmentary letters of the legend. The overall design reflects the debased die-cutting style typical of the Wrocław mint under Bolesław III. |

| Reverse description | Facing stylized bust of Saint John the Baptist within a raised inner circle, similarly rendered en face with schematic features and pellets distributed around the head. The surrounding field features radiating decorative elements and fragmentary inscription letters distributed between the radial devices. The reverse design mirrors the obverse in artistic conception, associating the episcopal patron saint with the ducal authority, consistent with the Wrocław mint's ecclesiastical connections during the reign of Bolesław III Krzywousty. |
