| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Duke Leszek the White depicted in Romanesque style, wearing a crown or ducal headgear above a rounded head, with the figure rendered in high relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. The torso is shown draped in a striated garment, suggesting chainmail or a decorative mantle, with stylized scroll-like ornaments flanking the figure on either side. A partial Latin legend surrounds the central device within a raised border, reading DVX AZIMIR. The flan is thin and irregular, with characteristic cracking at the edges typical of hammered bracteate production. |
