| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver. The central device depicts a double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads turned outward, rendered in a schematic medieval style characteristic of late 13th-century Polish dynastic coinage. The entire design is contained within a plain inner circle, itself set within the irregular raised rim of the flan. The execution is bold but somewhat crude, consistent with provincial hammered bracteate production of the Kuyavian duchy. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the double-headed eagle in negative relief pressed through the thin silver flan. The surface is plain and undecorated, with no separate reverse design or inscription. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, typical of hand-cut bracteate blanks of the period. |
