| Obverse description | Enthroned prince facing frontally, crowned and robed in draped garments, seated upon a decorated throne; the ruler holds a sceptre or lance upright in one hand while the other rests across the body. The figure is rendered in the Romanesque stylistic tradition characteristic of early Piast coinage. A partial Latin legend runs along the periphery, largely obscured by the irregular flan, enclosed between an inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, showing the enthroned princely figure in characteristic bracteate fashion. The seated ruler with upright sceptre or lance is discernible in relief, surrounded by a beaded inner circle and an outer beaded border. The surface exhibits the typical thinness and slight irregularity of hammered bracteate coinage of the early Piast period. |
