| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a crowned or mitred ruler occupying the central field, depicted in a schematic, Romanesque style characteristic of Polish medieval bracteate coinage. The figure is shown facing, with simplified facial features and stylized vestments or regalia visible at the shoulders. A circular legend reading + BOLESLAUS surrounds the central device, composed of Gothic minuscule-influenced letters arranged around the inner border. A beaded or dotted inner circle separates the legend from the central design. The overall composition reflects the flat, single-sided striking technique of bracteate manufacture. |
