| Obverse description | Central field divided into three vertical panels beneath a rounded arch, the middle panel bearing a frontal facing head or bust, likely a stylized princely effigy, flanked by two panels containing abstract or figural motifs rendered in a crude, archaic hammered style. The architectural framing—suggestive of a gate or palatial facade—is characteristic of Piast dynastic bracteate coinage of the late 12th century. The design is executed in low relief with bold, simplified forms typical of provincial Polish hammered coinage of the period. No legible inscription or legend is apparent on the obverse field. |
