| Obverse description | Frontal facing bust of a crowned figure, the crown adorned with a row of pellets or beading along its upper edge. The face is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner with large circular eyes, a broad nose, and an open mouth. The figure is shown from the shoulders upward, with both arms raised and bent outward at the elbows, each hand holding a stylized floral or trefoil spray. The design is set within a plain raised border, with the entire relief struck on a thin single-sided flan characteristic of bracteate coinage. No legend is present; the type relies entirely on the figural device for identification. |

| Reverse description | As is typical of bracteate coinage, the reverse presents a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, showing the crowned frontal bust with raised arms and flanking floral sprays in negative relief. The thin silver flan reveals the characteristic concavity of the bracteate technique, with the raised border visible as a corresponding depression on the reverse. No inscriptions or additional devices are present on this side. |
