| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized figural composition, likely depicting a seated or enthroned ruler, rendered in the crude but expressive Romanesque manner typical of mid-13th-century Polish bracteate-related coinage. The design is divided by a cross-like arrangement of decorative elements into four quadrants, each filled with interlaced ornamental motifs and pellets. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border following the irregular flan. The die-cutting displays the characteristic flat relief and schematic figural treatment of the Kraków mint workshop under Boleslaus V. |
