| Obverse description | Typical bracteate composition featuring a schematized design at center consisting of two lobes or crescentic forms enclosed within a raised circular ring, the whole set against a concave, bowl-shaped field characteristic of thin single-die bracteate coinage. The design is rendered in low relief with a primitive, abstract quality consistent with 13th-century Pomeranian workshop production. No legible legend is present; the broad, flat rim is plain and slightly irregular in outline. |

| Reverse description | Incuse reverse as is standard for a bracteate, struck from a single die on a thin silver flan, presenting the mirror-image impression of the obverse design in intaglio relief. The concave surface displays a centrally raised boss or knob surrounded by a faint circular groove, with traces of the schematized motif visible as incuse depressions. The surface shows natural patination and wear consistent with medieval circulation, with no inscription or legend discernible. |
