| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a broadly rendered Gothic letter W, the heraldic initial of Władysław Opolczyk, struck in high relief against a plain, irregularly flan field. Above the letter, a small pellet or globule is visible. The design is enclosed within a faint inner circle, the whole executed in the crude hammered style typical of late 14th-century Ruthenian deniers. The flan is noticeably irregular in outline, a characteristic feature of this series. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a crown rendered in a schematic, Gothic style, its three fleurs-de-lis finials clearly articulated in relief. Beneath and around the crown appears a curved crescent or bow-shaped element accompanied by scattered annulets and pellets in the field, forming a decorative composition consistent with the Kopicki types for this series. The design is contained within a roughly impressed inner circle, with the irregular flan edge typical of hammered Ruthenian deniers of this period. |
