| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver, bearing a centrally placed frontal figure, likely a crowned royal or ecclesiastical personage, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style characteristic of Bohemian bracteates of the late 13th century. The figure appears robed and displays outstretched arms, possibly holding regalia or symbols of authority, positioned within a shallow, concave field typical of the bracteate technique. The surrounding rim is broad, plain, and slightly raised, forming a protective border around the central design. No legible legend or inscription is present on this issue. |

| Reverse description | Uniface coin with a plain, uninscribed reverse, as is characteristic of the bracteate denomination. The reverse presents a smooth, convex surface showing the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, a natural consequence of the single-die hammered bracteate production technique. |
