| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet. Central device depicts a stylized frontal crowned face rendered in a highly schematic, archaic manner typical of medieval Baltic bracteates, with the crown indicated by projecting elements above the head. The effigy is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself set within a raised outer border ring. The design is bold and linear, with no legible inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | Uniface (bracteate) construction; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design as a natural consequence of the single-die hammered bracteate technique, with no independent design, legend, or device struck on this side. |
