| Obverse description | A single Gothic letter, likely an initial of the issuing abbot, displayed prominently in the center of the field within a raised inner circle or beaded ring. The letter is boldly rendered in relief characteristic of bracteate coinage, with the irregular flan edge typical of hand-hammered medieval issues. The field is plain with no surrounding legend, reflecting the simple iconographic convention of 14th-century Polish ecclesiastical bracteates. The coin exhibits the characteristic concave reverse impression inherent to the bracteate technique. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, showing the Gothic initial letter in concave relief within the sunken inner circle. The reverse is deeply concave, with the characteristic bowl-shaped profile produced by the single-die hammered bracteate striking method. The surface shows typical medieval silver patination and wear consistent with circulation use. |
