| Obverse description | A plain cross with expanded terminals occupies the central field, flanked by two four-pointed stars positioned at the left and right arms and two pellets placed above and below, all contained within a solid inner ring. The entire design is further enclosed by a outer ring of large beads, characteristic of Baltic bracteate coinage of the late thirteenth century. |
