| Obverse description | A stylized lily rising from a crown, rendered in low relief in the characteristic bracteate technique. The fleur-de-lis motif is centrally positioned within the concave field, with the three lobes of the lily head clearly articulated above the crown base. The design occupies the full central area of the thin, dish-shaped flan, surrounded by a plain border. The overall style is typical of 13th-century Pomeranian civic coinage, with bold, simplified iconography suited to single-sided striking. |
