| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, featuring a schematic figure of an eagle displayed in the central field, rendered in the primitive Romanesque style characteristic of early Piast dynasty coinage. The eagle, a dynastic symbol of the Piast rulers of Greater Poland, is depicted with spread wings and stylized tail feathers. A rudimentary inscription or decorative elements encircle the figure in the outer field, though legends on bracteates of this period are often fragmentary or stylized to the point of near-illegibility. The overall fabric is irregular and thin, consistent with bracteate production at the Gniezno mint during the early thirteenth century. |
