| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two facing busts depicted side by side in schematic Romanesque style, their heads touching or nearly so, surmounted by an architectural arch rendered as a series of horizontal parallel lines suggesting a gateway or arcade. Below the busts appears a horizontal band bearing a retrograde or abbreviated Latin legend, with a row of vertical strokes forming a comb-like decorative border at the base of the flan. The overall composition is struck on a thin, irregularly shaped silver flan characteristic of Polish medieval bracteate coinage, with the design rendered in bold low relief. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a true bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the two schematic busts and the architectural arcade as a sunken impression in the thin silver flan. The reverse surface is uneven and striated where the flan was struck over a single die, with the lettering appearing in intaglio as is characteristic of all bracteate coinage. The flan edges are irregular and show minor splitting consistent with the thin silver sheet used in 12th-century Polish bracteate production. |
