| Obverse description | The central field features a stylized relief reproduction of a medieval seal depicting a Silesian eagle with a crescent moon on its chest, set within an irregular circular border evoking a wax seal. The name HENRICVS II PIVS is inscribed above the seal in the field, with DVX POL below, and the Roman numeral dates MCCXXXVIII and MCCXXXXI flanking the seal horizontally. The outer border consists of a beaded circle, with the issuer and series inscription running along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a densely composed battle scene in high relief depicting the Battle of Legnica (1241), with Mongol warriors on the left and Polish knights on the right engaged in mounted combat. Above the battle, an angel cradles the souls of the fallen — including the larger head of Henry the Pious — in a mandorla-like vessel, flanked by smaller angelic figures. A two-part Latin legend is inscribed across the upper field, and a dedicatory inscription appears in the lower exergue within the beaded border. |
