| Obverse description | Central field depicts a standing armored figure, likely a princely or knightly effigy, holding a sword upright in the right hand; the figure is rendered in a crude, stylized manner characteristic of early medieval Polish hammered coinage. The design is surrounded by a dotted border, with scattered letter-like symbols or abbreviated inscriptions distributed around the inner field. The overall style reflects the primitive die-cutting tradition of early 13th-century Greater Polish minting. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a facing, uncrowned human head with schematically rendered facial features, including simplified eyes, nose, and ears, characteristic of early Piast-period denier coinage. The head is surrounded by a dotted inner border, with fragmentary Latin letters or symbols arranged around the periphery, likely forming a partially legible ruler's name or title. The engraving is rough and archaic in style, consistent with Gniezno mint production of the early 13th century. |
