| Obverse description | Facing bust of a crowned prince rendered in a Romanesque style, depicted to the shoulders within a beaded inner circle. The effigy wears a crown and appears in military dress, holding a sword diagonally across the body. A partial Latin legend runs along the outer margin, partially obscured by die wear and irregular flan edges, reading [...] EMAR BVGVSLAVS, referencing Prince Boguslaw of Pomerania. The border consists of a beaded or pellet ring enclosing the central design. |

| Reverse description | A stylised city gate or fortified tower with three turrets rendered in a flat, schematic Romanesque manner within a beaded inner circle. The central tower is flanked by two smaller lateral towers, with an arched gateway visible at the base, representing the town of Demmin. A partial Latin legend encircles the design in the outer field, reading CASE[...]LAVS, likely completing the name CASTELAUS or a reference to the castle of Demmin. The coin exhibits characteristic irregular flan edges and surface porosity consistent with medieval billon hammered coinage. |
