| Reverse description | A large crescent open to the right dominates the central field, enclosing a cross pattee with a central pellet and a globule at the base, all within a double concentric circle. Additional cross symbols flank the crescent in the outer field, consistent with the decorative vocabulary of early Piast coinage. The design elements are boldly struck in high relief despite the crude workmanship, with visible hammer marks on the irregular flan. The reverse type is closely related to Ottonian denier prototypes and reflects the religious and dynastic symbolism employed by Mieszko II Lambert. The lettering around the periphery is largely degenerate and only partially legible. |
