| Obverse description | Crude facing bust of the ruler depicted in high relief within a beaded or double inner circle, rendered in a barbaric Romanesque style typical of early Polish medieval coinage. The facial features are boldly modelled with pronounced brow ridges, wide-set eyes, and a broad nose, the overall execution reflecting the primitive die-cutting technique of the period. The bust appears draped, with schematic rendering of the shoulders and neck visible below the face. The surrounding field is flat and unadorned, with the legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. The entire composition is characteristic of early eleventh-century Polish deniers struck in imitation of Ottonian prototypes. |
