| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck on a thin, irregularly shaped silver flan with a raised inner circle framing the central design. Within the circle, a frontal enthroned figure — likely a royal or princely effigy — is depicted in low relief, wearing robes and appearing to hold regalia in each hand. Flanking foliate or decorative elements extend toward the border on either side, rendered in the characteristically shallow and stylized hammered technique typical of Bohemian bracteates of the mid-13th century. The overall composition is enclosed within a plain raised rim, beyond which the thin flan extends irregularly. |

| Reverse description | Uniface coin; the reverse is entirely blank and uninscribed, as is standard for bracteate coinage, where the design appears as a mirror-image incuse impression on the reverse side of the thin silver flan. |
