| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck on a thin silver flan with an irregular, slightly scalloped rim. The central device, visible in low relief, depicts a stylized eagle head facing left, with a prominent beak and crown or crest above, rendered in the bold, simplified manner characteristic of Moravian bracteate coinage of the late 13th century. The design is contained within a plain raised inner border, surrounded by a broad, flat rim. No legend is present. |
