| Obverse description | A small bust facing right, depicted in a crude but characteristic late medieval hammered style, set within a beaded inner circle. The bust, likely representing a civic or regal figure, occupies the central field and is rendered in low relief typical of bracteate coinage. A prominent outer border of large, evenly spaced beads frames the composition. The flan is irregular and thin, consistent with the bracteate technique, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, showing the bust facing left in sunken relief. The beaded border is visible in incuse form around the central motif. The surface is characteristically flat and uniface in the bracteate tradition, with no additional design elements or inscriptions. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, typical of hand-struck medieval bracteates. |
