| Obverse description | Central field bears a stylized trefoil or clover-leaf motif composed of three lobes radiating from a central point, with a raised globule or pellet at the base forming a fourth element, the whole enclosed within a plain inner ring and a raised outer border of concentric lines. The design is rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered bracteate coinage, with no legend or inscription present. The flan is thin and slightly irregular, consistent with medieval single-die bracteate production at the Gdańsk mint. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate produced from a single die, the reverse presents the incuse, mirror-image impression of the obverse design: the trefoil motif appears as a concave indentation with three recessed lobes and a central hollow pellet at the base, surrounded by the corresponding recessed inner ring and outer border. The surface is flat and unmarked save for the incuse relief, typical of bracteate manufacturing technique. No legend or additional devices are present. |
