| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate depicting a crowned facing bust of Duke Premislaus II (Przemysł II), rendered in a crude, schematic style typical of 13th-century Polish bracteate coinage. The ruler's effigy is shown frontally, wearing a prominent crown with three fleur-de-lis-style points rising above the head. The facial features are stylized and simplified, with minimal relief. To the right of the bust appears a schematic symbol or heraldic device, possibly an eagle motif or sceptre rendered in abbreviated form. The design occupies a plain, slightly irregular round flan with a raised rim. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin is struck on a single thin flan; the reverse presents a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, showing the crowned bust of Premislaus II in negative relief. The flan is plain and irregular, with no additional design elements, legends, or inscriptions on the reverse side, which is characteristic of bracteate coinage of medieval Poland. |
