| Obverse description | A stylized bird or animal figure, likely a bird of prey, depicted in a crude, flat relief characteristic of medieval Russian hammered coinage. The design occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped flan. The image is executed in a simple, schematic style typical of Tver pulo coinage of the late 15th century. A beaded border runs along the lower periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | Three lines of Cyrillic legend arranged horizontally across the field, reading the name and title of the issuing prince Mikhail Borisovich of Tver. The inscription is set in a plain field without additional ornament, rendered in the angular, somewhat irregular letterforms characteristic of late medieval Russian provincial coinage. The text is contained within the irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered pulo coinage. |
