| Obverse description | Within a plain circular border, a stylized Silesian eagle displayed, rendered in the Gothic hammered style typical of late 15th-century Silesian bracteate-influenced coinage. The eagle's wings are spread and the body is depicted in a highly schematic, ornamental manner characteristic of small-denomination hellers of the period. No legend is present; the design fills the entire field. |

| Additional information |
Sigismund ruled the Duchy of Głogów as a Jagiellonian administrator from 1499 — placed there by his brother, King Władysław II of Bohemia and Hungary — before ascending to the Polish throne in 1506. These small silver pieces were struck during that brief transitional tenure, and Kopicki 5765 is among the scarcer attributions in the Głogów sequence precisely because the political arrangement lasted less than a decade.
