| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Duke Premislaus I facing right, rendered in the schematic Romanesque style typical of mid-13th century Polish bracteate-influenced coinage. The head is adorned with a stylized crown composed of raised pellets and prongs, with facial features indicated by bold, simplified relief. The bust is flanked by a beaded inner border encircling the field, the entire design executed with the crude but vigorous hand-struck character of the period. |
