| Obverse description | As a bracteate, the coin bears a single-sided relief design struck through a thin silver flan. The central field depicts a crowned or helmeted princely figure in frontal stance, holding what appears to be a lance or sceptre in one hand, rendered in a bold, schematic Romanesque style characteristic of Piast dynastic coinage. The figure is framed beneath an arched architectural element supported by two flanking attendant figures or pillars, evoking a palatial or ecclesiastical gateway motif. Additional symbols, including what appears to be a crescent and a stylised tower above the arch, are visible in the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded border running along the coin's periphery. |
