| Obverse description | A crowned ruler depicted on horseback in profile to the left, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style typical of medieval Polish bracteat-related coinage. The equestrian figure is shown in a dynamic pose with the horse's legs raised, enclosed within a beaded inner border. The composition fills the field entirely, with no legible legend preserved on this example. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust of a crowned ruler, portrayed frontally in a schematic manner characteristic of 13th-century Polish deniers. The crowned head is rendered with stylized facial features including indicated eyes, nose, and chin, with hair shown as a series of horizontal lines flanking the face. A small architectural element, possibly a tower or cross, appears above the crown at the apex. The bust is contained within a beaded border, with faint traces of a possible letter or symbol in the right field. |
