| Obverse description | Two figures depicted facing one another in a confronted arrangement, rendered in the crude, flat relief characteristic of 12th-century Polish bracteate-influenced deniers. The figures appear to be a ruler and a bishop or ecclesiastical dignitary, each schematically detailed with linear drapery folds indicated by parallel incised lines. The field is unadorned, and the flan is irregular with a characteristically rough, uneven edge typical of hand-hammered medieval coinage. No legible legend is present, the design relying entirely on figural imagery to convey authority. |
