| Obverse description | Spread eagle displayed in the field, rendered in a crude, archaic style characteristic of medieval Silesian hammered coinage. The wings are outstretched and the body is depicted frontally, with bold, deeply struck relief lines defining the plumage. No legend is present. The flan is irregular in shape with uneven edges typical of hand-struck bracteate-related issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Crowned frontal bust or head of a ruler or civic personage within the field, rendered in a rough, stylized manner consistent with late medieval Silesian municipal coinage. The crown is depicted with prominent pearled arches above the brow. The overall design is bold but crudely executed, with the surrounding flan exhibiting the characteristic irregular clipping of hammered coinage. No surrounding legend is present. |
