| Obverse description | Two enthroned figures seated facing one another beneath a trefoil-arched arcade supported by columns; each figure is depicted in a frontal or three-quarter pose, rendered in high relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. Between the two figures rises a central architectural element, likely a stylized tower or sceptre, framed by the arched canopy above. Small spherical ornaments are visible at the outer extremities of the arcade. The overall composition is typical of Piast dynastic bracteates of the late 12th century, reflecting Romanesque artistic conventions. No legend is present. |
