| Obverse description | Central architectural motif depicting a large domed tower or rotunda surmounted by a globule, flanked symmetrically by two smaller domed turrets, each also topped with a globule, rendered in high relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. The structure rests upon a horizontal arcade or wall with a prominent arched gateway at the base, through which a small cross or rosette is visible. The entire composition is enclosed within a raised circular border, with no legend present in the field. The architectural design is conventionally interpreted as a representation of Wawel Cathedral or the ducal seat at Kraków, serving as an emblem of princely authority under Leszek the White. |
