| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck on a thin hammered silver flan. The central device depicts a stylized eagle displayed, rendered in a schematic, archaic manner characteristic of Kuyavian bracteates of the late 13th to early 14th century. The figure is set within a plain inner circle, itself enclosed by a raised beaded or rope border running along the coin's periphery. The field is unlettered, with no legend present. The overall die-work reflects the crude yet expressive craftsmanship typical of provincial Polish medieval coinage. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin was struck from a single die, producing an incuse mirror image on the reverse. The reverse therefore shows the negative impression of the obverse design — the stylized eagle appearing recessed and in relief reversal within the thin silver flan. The surface displays typical bracteate characteristics: irregular flan edges, uneven metal flow, and a concave profile. No separate reverse design or legend is present. |
