| Obverse description | Two facing figures depicted in stylized Romanesque fashion occupy the central field, separated by a vertical scepter or staff. The left figure, likely representing a bishop or ecclesiastical dignitary, is shown frontally with a nimbus or circular head ornament, rendered in a schematic linear style typical of 12th-century Polish bracteates. The right figure, possibly the prince or a secular authority, is similarly portrayed in frontal aspect. A beaded inner border encircles the design, with fragmentary stylized lettering or decorative elements visible along the outer margin. |
