| Obverse description | Thin silver bracteate struck in relief on one side. The central field features a horizontal architectural or heraldic band motif, within which appear the letters forming an abbreviated legend, likely referencing the issuing abbey. Above the band, a stylized architectural or abbatial emblem is visible, possibly a crozier or roof-like element. Below the central band, a small circular boss or roundel contains a floral or foliate ornament. The overall composition is characteristic of Silesian-Polish ecclesiastical bracteate coinage of the 13th century, with a primitive but intentional arrangement of symbolic and epigraphic elements. |
