| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a schematic anthropomorphic figure rendered in a primitive, stylised manner, possibly representing a warrior or palatine, shown frontally with arms extended outward and legs spread. The figure is depicted with a rounded head and angular limbs, executed in the crude but characteristic die-cutting style of early Piast-era coinage. Surrounding the central motif are degenerate pseudo-inscriptions or ornamental devices arranged in the field, reflecting the non-literate workshop tradition of late eleventh-century Polish minting. The entire design is enclosed within a single linear border. The overall execution is consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the Sieciech period. |
