| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver, featuring a bust of a prince or ruler in profile facing right, rendered in a bold, stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of late 12th-century Polish coinage. The effigy displays a pronounced crown or diadem with radiate projections, with flowing hair rendered as incised linear striations framing the face. The figure is shown with a draped shoulder, suggesting regal or military attire. The central device is enclosed within a plain inner ring and a beaded outer border following the irregular flan edge. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the aniconic lettering conventions of Piast dynastic bracteates of this period. |
