| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the crowned frontal bust and surrounding ornamental elements in negative relief. The outer border retains a partial toothed or beaded rim, partially preserved on this irregularly shaped flan. The surface exhibits natural patination and minor corrosion consistent with medieval silver bracteates recovered from Polish archaeological contexts. |
