| Obverse description | Bracteate with a schematically rendered eagle displayed in the central field, executed in low relief characteristic of thin hammered bracteate coinage. The raptor is depicted with spread wings and stylized feather detailing rendered as parallel incised lines, with a rounded head turned to one side. The composition fills the irregularly shaped flan with no surrounding legend, typical of the simplified heraldic bracteate tradition of 13th-century Pomeranian coinage. The die-cut design reflects the Pomeranian ducal eagle, an emblematic charge associated with the House of Samborides. |
