| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a stylised four-petalled rosette or quatrefoil motif in bold relief, characteristic of the thin-flan bracteate technique. The design is enclosed within a raised concentric ring border, itself surrounded by a broad, flat rim with an irregular, flan-clipped edge. The relief is shallow yet crisply rendered in the hammered style, with the petals radiating symmetrically from a central boss. The field shows typical medieval bracteate fabric with slight surface irregularities and traces of patination. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the negative impression of the central quatrefoil motif and concentric border ring pressed through the thin silver flan. The incuse field retains the characteristic concave curvature of hammered bracteate coinage. A schematic face-like arrangement of features is visible in the incuse impression, an artefact of the obverse die relief reading through the flan. The surface displays natural toning and minor environmental deposits consistent with medieval silver coinage. |
