| Reverse description | A large Gothic letter 'S' occupies the central field, serving as the initial for Sorau (Żary), enclosed within a dotted inner circle. A fragmentary Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading partially as 'EI... UTBEB...' representing the abbreviated civic or seigniorial inscription. The overall design is characteristic of small medieval Silesian pfennig coinage, with the legend distributed around the beaded border in a rough, hand-struck manner. |
