| Obverse description | Central device depicting a royal crown rendered in relief, with fleurs and pellets ornamenting the circlet and the upper arch, set within a beaded inner border. A partial Latin legend surrounds the crown, reading partially as NORO(PO)oWLA, distributed around the field. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. The overall style is consistent with the primitive die-work of early 14th-century Polish deniers struck under Ladislaus I. |

| Reverse description | A rampant eagle displayed in the field, representing the heraldic eagle of the Piast dynasty, rendered in bold relief with spread wings and turned head, facing left. The eagle occupies the majority of the flan and is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's irregular circumference. The execution is characteristic of the rough, expressive die-engraving style of early 14th-century Polish hammered coinage. No legend is present on the reverse. |
