| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, a characteristic feature of this single-die hammering technique. The relief of the obverse motif appears sunken on the reverse, with the schematic figural composition and pellet ornamentation visible in negative. The thin silver flan shows slight cracking at the edges, consistent with the fragile nature of bracteate flans produced in medieval Polish mints. The raised border visible on the obverse corresponds to a recessed channel on the reverse. No independent design or legend was applied to this face. |
