| Obverse description | Rampant Bohemian lion facing left in the central field, rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of mid-14th century Silesian hammered coinage. The lion displays a bifurcated tail and raised forepaw. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters encircles the central device, partially legible due to the irregular flan. The overall design is typical of the Prague Gross monetary tradition adapted for local Breslau municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Crowned Silesian eagle displayed in the central field, wings spread and facing forward, rendered in the primitive yet expressive hammered style of the period. The eagle's body is depicted with spread talons and stylized feathering. A partial circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the device along the coin's periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck municipal coinage of 14th century Silesia. |
