| Reverse description | Central field features a bold cross extending to the edges of the flan, dividing the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a letter or symbol from the legend. The cross design is characteristic of early Piast-period deniers, strongly influenced by contemporaneous German Ottonian coinage. Small decorative elements, including possible annulets or pellets, are visible within the quadrants. The partial Latin legend PRINCES POLONIAE is distributed around the periphery, though the irregular hammered flan results in portions of the inscription being off-flan or weakly struck. The overall execution is typical of the primitive die-cutting technique employed at unknown Polish mints of the early eleventh century. |
