| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, displaying a frontal helmeted bust of Duke Premislaus II (Przemysł II) in the center of the field. The figure is depicted wearing a conical helmet surmounted by a small cross, with stylized facial features rendered in the characteristic flat, linear manner of 13th-century Polish bracteate coinage. A sword or scepter appears to the right of the bust, while additional heraldic or symbolic elements flank the figure on the left. The design is contained within a plain, irregularly circular border typical of hammered bracteate fabric. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin has no independent reverse design; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse type, showing the indented impression of the helmeted bust and flanking symbols as sunken relief, characteristic of the single-sheet hammered bracteate technique. |
