| Obverse description | A thin hammered silver bracteate of irregular round flan, bearing in the central field a prancing horse or griffin passant to the right, rendered in a crude but vigorous medieval style typical of early Pomeranian issues. Above the animal, a cross or crosslet is visible in the upper field. In the lower portion of the field, a partial Latin inscription in archaic letterforms reads CCC V, separated by a central pellet. The design occupies the full flan with minimal border, consistent with the bracteate technique of single-die striking. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin was struck from a single die on a thin silver flan, producing an incuse mirror image of the obverse design on the reverse. The reverse therefore displays the animal motif and partial inscription in sunken relief, with the lettering appearing in reverse orientation. No additional design elements or legends are present on the reverse side. |
