| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, a characteristic feature of this single-sided coinage type produced on an extremely thin silver flan. The central medallion containing the crowned effigy appears as a concave depression, while the surrounding wreath of scrolling volutes is rendered in negative relief. A raised border ring is visible at the periphery. The surface is plain and undecorated beyond the incuse impression, consistent with Silesian-Polish bracteate production of the late 12th to early 13th century. |
